armour camouflage netting

I've used the cheese cloth method a couple of times. The white glue method works ok.

You might find it a lot easier to dye the cloth rather than painting it. I found a dark olive/khaki green food colour dye at Wal-Mart for a couple of dollars. As I was building a Churchill Crocodile, this colour worked perfectly, and the colour saturation was perfect.

Just curious, how much does this cheesecloth cost? And does it look real realistic as 1/35 camo netting? I've seen some 1/35 camo netting for sale for about $6 CDN and was wondering if cheesecloth is the better way to go

Id go with cheesecloth, Its not expensive and The results are quite good.

heres what I do:
1. cut cheesecloth to specific size and then dryfit to make sure it will cover where I want it to.
2. dip it in the white glue-water mixture
3. apply it to the model
when its dry I carefully take it off and spray paint it- or airbrush
4. If you are carefull when painting the cloth will hold its shape, so then you can just reapply tho the model with small dabs of white glue in key places.

heres what I got.

gauze works as well.

Either cheesecloth or gauze will work. If you use cheesecloth, get it wet, squeeze the water out , and lay it out flat to dry. This will allow it to shrink. Paint it the color you want (green or brown). If you want it to be more realistic, raid your spices cabinet for either oregano or sage (I prefer sage because it's somewhat finer than oregano). After the paint dries, spray a light coat of spray contact glue over the cheesecloth. Before the contact cement dries, sprinkle the spice leaves over it and allow it to dry over night. Shake the excess off and drape the net over your model.

I used gauze on my 1/72 scale tiger (that will be displayed shortly) and it looks great. I just painted on the colour. If you take a peppermint tea bag and sprinkle the tea over it it makes great foliage. Good luck. Besides, what the heck is cheese cloth?
