I am finishing an IDF C&C M113. On the sides of the vehicle are stowage racks. In my references I see a type of cargo webbing used to secure Jerry cans, ect. Has anyone found a good way to make this webbing. My first thought is to m use paper. But I thought I'd see if anyone here had already "invented the wheel".
Also, are all IDF Jerry cans painted black? Inquiring minds wanta know.
Thanks

Charles,
For the jerrycans, I only have seen them in black, since they´re made of plastic (black).
For the webbing, if I was you, I´d use the same aproach, but with a paper soaked in water+white glue solution (let it dry and them cut the stripes), thin foil lead also could work (even better)...
HTH

Thanks Paulo.
This site is amazing! So much information and talent is shared here.
I'd be lost without it.
And...I think I'll order some lead foil. :-)

Yes is the answer to your question on of jery cans. I remember seeing light green and even some tan ones during Lebanon. Though most if not all today are black. When I built my M113s (12 IDF variants so far) I cut thin strips of paper about 6" long. using scotch tape I laid out he pattern leaving plenty of spare to work into the tie downs.. First i tack glued the paper wher the cross with a paper glue stick and then ggive it a dab of super glue. I do all theis on a piece of glass from an old picture frame. If you need any IDF info Let Me know and we'll try to help

Order lead foil? Whatever for? The easiest way to obtain lead foil is from your wine cellar! Drink the wine of your choice, and then score the foil wrapping that is around the neck of the bottle. Once removed, it can be rolled flat, painted, and sliced into strips. Easy to do, and very enjoyable too. Hmmmm....is it too early for a nice glass of pinot noir? :-)

#:-) "YES GREG" It's a bit too early for a glass of wine. BUT Thats OKAY you a man after my own heart. I prefer a nice White Medium Sweet Wine. Such as a Rieseling, Or something along that line. .....OH UH, SORRY I di'nt mean to turn this into a wine discussion. He-He-He.

Wine bottles with foil? All mine have screw tops....LOL

You guys don't know what you're missing. I live in the heart of Oregon's wine country; not loving it would be a crime! :-) :-)
