Here's the end result of the experiment with medical gauze, PVA and the excellent tutorial on The Tactical Painter blog. I think it's not too bad, if not as crisp as the original version, so I'm happy with the overall look. I added some finer pieces of gauze over the top of the blobs that I originally applied and this has worked well to give the scrim netting effect. I'm going to leave the rest of the tanks as they are, however, as I want to see what this one looks like when painted up and because they are destined for a winter whitewash paint job, which negates the use of camo netting to a certain degree. I'll definitely use this method again though. A big thanks to the Tactical Painter for the idea:
Nicely done. I can also recommend wedding veil gauze for camo netting. It's available online.
ReplyDeleteGood tip. Thanks AJ.
ReplyDeleteThat does look effective.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Have to wait to see what it looks like with some paint.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great. Thanks for the link to the tutorial I'm glad you found it inspirational or useful. I wish I could take credit for the technique but I saw it used somewhere else many, many years ago but glad I remembered it.
ReplyDeleteIt is very helpful and much appreciated...great job too.
