Looking for pics of the camo net / material that the brits used on their armor. Looks kind of like long strips of cloth attached to netting and layered. I saw one of these posted on here awhile back, but can't seem to find it. Sorry if my explination isn't clear enough. Thanks. "Q"

Hi Matthew:
I believe it was called Hessian Tape Camo. Netting. Check out this article:

Matthew,just a hint to make the "tape".I used this on a Challanger 1awhile ago.I took a coffee filter (same as any normal home coffee maker uses) and painted it the colours I wanted.I cut it into strips and tied it to the netting.Allthough this is a little different than the WW2 way the coffee filter paper may do the job for you.
