1/72 camo netting

There are two sizes of surgical gauze,the lighter stuff being the size you would probably want to try here.

u could also try unwraveling some gauze from a first aid kit or something. just be sure to replace what u took

I couldn't find anything at the fabric store but cheese cloth is a great idea, thanks heaps I'll try that.

Cheeze cloth works ok for 1:72.
Also, hit the fabric stores, I've found several types of fabric that have served as everything from grills to chain link fence to cargo netting. Its just hunting around untill you find something that will fit you're application. The Bridal veil stuff works great for small scale chicken wire, fencing, rebar in modern building rubble, and camo netting for 1:35 helmets. It comes in different sizes and colors.

Check for right size tights!
