What is the best way of making these in 1:35 scale? Is it even possible? Thanks in advance.

Hey DAve


medical bandage or gauze works very well. stretch it out as much as you can, or remove some of the fabric from in between, , make it as soft as possible by rolling it in a ball between your hands for a while, stretch it out again and soak it in white glue mixed with water and the colour you want it to get (waterpaint)... works perfect and once dry becomes rocksolid.

I have used bandage for camo nets.
Paint them green or in what kind of colour, it don't matter.
Then spray it with thinned white glue and scatter parsley over it.
that will only work for green camo nets.
If you want a camo net with another colour, then you have to spray it again in the colour that you want.
The last step is... cut it in the right size and voila your camo net.

Simple as that

Hi Dave:

I used medical gauze/bandage on my Challenger II (still in progress in pictures) dipped in diluted white glue and then used various types of tea.




The wet gauze is then draped on the AFV and the tea sprinkled on.

Thanks for the help everyone. KBM, That is exactly the result I want to achieve. I'll get some bandage and try this method at some point on my Abrams for T2K. Photos in a few weeks when I'm done. Thanks again.

Joker had some excellent ones on his entries in Op Canuck Steel along with an explanation on how he made them. link

Yup.. bandages! They make good nets.

Defintely medical gauze... soaked in 50/50 white glue and water solution - with a touch of your base color, fo me that generally means Tan or OD - then draped it has you want and let dry. Paint, highlight and shadow as needed.

Good Luck, Neill

Thanks Neill. The photos help a lot.
