Should also do extremely well as camo netting. I think the chainlinks are a bit to big for human-sized chainmail in 28mm scale, but they are juuust right for say a camo net on a chimera.

You 're right Kosake. This one is slightly too big.

I have ordered thing called: Head Lice & Pet Flea Plastic Nit Comb.

It is much finer than the one i used in pic

... and, over the weekend, I will pop in to "pet shop" to check what they have.

Cheers

Quick update guys:

Lice/nit comb works good for chainmail

Not perfect. It was a test only



This is the one I used.

I hve used this before, a big tip is it put lotion or chapstick on the teeth of the comb, it helps from sticking.

Stick comb in greenstuff (probably at a decent angle, not straight down), remove comb, move comb down slightly and shift to one side, insert comb again. Repeat as needed.
