Camo netting

Tools, Techniques, and Reference Materials Techniques

I am looking to add some camo netting to my models to give them a little more detail. What are some good ways to make realistic netting?

I’ve tried stretching out medical gauze before. Looks pretty good

I second what Woody said. I had some Verlinden “netting”. Honestly, it looked just like medical gauze to me! Buy a roll at the store and practice until you get what you want. One great piece of advice I got here (If you are going to roll up your netting and put on a vehicle or something)was to use some watered down plain white glue (like Elmers) and once you have it in place, take a paint brush and lightly “paint” on the glue, press it down where it looks realistic. Made a big difference in the look of the netting. Hope this helps.

Ive tried a few different types of netting that included Verlinden and I tried making some but one of the best Ive found is from Build A Rama in 1/35.

Hey Terry, that does look a little thicker than the Verlinden and medical gauze! Looks a bit more realistic I think! Thanks for the reference!

Eagle I had to run and didn’t get to finish but heres the Verlinden netting in 1/35. Totally different but each work for different things.

Heres a Brummbar I did with the Build A Rama. I hope it helps. Terry

i am really trying to find something i can paint and drape over modern tank turrets like the british and germans do. it seems by the time i paint it it’s too stiff and doesn’t drape freely. and creating barracuda naetting (if that is the swedish guy) is insane.

HOWEVER for rolled netting or deployed netting i use bridal veil, painted and sprinkled with dried oregano.
