Hi all,

I've been trying to find a suitable material/mesh that I can use to create cam netting with (28mm scale for 40k). I've tried dying some bits mesh etc but not had any luck. Is there any advice, tips or somebody who knows where I may be able source the nesseccary bits.

Thank you all.

Get a gauze bandage. That mesh is pretty tight and what a lot of modelers use.

Verlinden Productions makes 1:35 scale camouflage netting: https://www.verlindenonline.com/1-35-scale-accessories/miscellaneous-accessories-1/1-35-camouflage-net-42.html

There is probably a British or European distributor of their products, my Google-Fu is a little off this morning.

^ This. Gauze pads/bandages. You can soak them in diluted paint(s) to get a base color going (depending on what camo you're going for, usually an olive drab color) then paint on or tie-dye other colors to suit your camo needs.

If you're using it on terrain you can soak it in watered down PVA (white glue) and when it dries it'll be nice and sturdy.

Thanks for all the pointers.

Thanks very much these guys seem to have it all.

Yes they do.
The GOT vehicles are pretty sexy too.

Try cheese cloth

I've seen cross-stitch base material and PVA glue work well! It's got little holes to poke leaves, branches etc in too!
