Yep, I believe it's just regular cooking foil. I tried a test, and it worked out very very nicely. The jagged edges of the foil worked very well in replicating the effect of rolled up camo cloth. Still gotta try the cheese cloth with the spray adhesive

I've used medical gauze flecked with dried tea leaves for my netting . As for the modern type netting , I have no idea. I can tell you from experiance that it is a bear to put up in the field!

What do you use to dye the gauze?

My apologies for the late response, guys. Work was quite heavy.

Thanks for the compliments, Mang Ernie, Sentry, Alex, Mad Mac and Iluv3eggs! Ill try posting pics of the finished MBT on the armor forum one of these days.

Mang Ernie,

How about pics of your own Challenger? Great work you did on that one.

Sentry,

I didnt use anything underneath. I did glue strips of the foil onto thin wire before wrapping them around the gun, by the wires were for extra effect. But I will try using some form of mesh on future projects.

ILuv3eggs,

Yes, thats plain Reynolds foil. And the wife wont notice. LOL.

Mad Mac,

As requested, heres a pic of the same camo net in progress. I just cut semi-diamond patterns in lines on the foil. The pattern doesnt have to be perfect; the camo nets Ive seen varies in size.

No bucks, no Buck Rogers
