hi
if i was you i would buy some simple gaus compresses (sorry for the wrong spelling) !
they are not that expensive and personally i don't see the diffrence between Verlinden camo nets or simple gaus compresses.
to paint them i just mix some waterpaint (dark green and brown) and lay the net's into it for a day, then dry them and after a while ,they sure look realistic

G'day mate,
Yes as Dmd says, this is the best way . Get in a pharmacy and ask'em different types of these tissues. I always use these.
If u prefere something aftermarket, Verlinden, Techstar Acessories and Custom Dioramics also have these camo nets. But i still the best way is u get'em from a pharmacy.
Thus u'll have many choices of shapes.

If you want the same kind of camo net Verlinden charges an ungodly amount of cash for, go to the drug store and ask for a roller gauze called Kerlix, I swear by it, and painted up it's the same as Verlinden sells. It comes in different sizes, but the most common and readily avialable is the 4" size.

You can also use cheesecloth that has a fairly loose weave, or go to the fabric store and look for some bridal veil material that has a loose weave.
