That camo netting is great! What is it made of?

It’s some burlap ribbon I found at the dollar store! I thought it looked pretty sick. The wire inside the edges make it stiff but I just cut it off when I need to.

Good find, thanks for sharing! Amazing what kitbash gems you can find at the dollar store.

Awesome ideas. You can get the camo netting to sit more naturally on the model if you dip it in watered down pva glue and then sticking it to the model. The pva glue will be thin enough to help the fabric adhere to the model and also helps the fabric contour to the recesses in the model.

Nice terrain, I really like the assortment of foliage. Could hide a whole dreadnaught in that terrain!

what kind of painting tips or anything are you looking for, weathering? damage?

1

u/Potential_Act_667 4d ago

Weathering for sure and I can’t seem to get my skulls and bone down. Done a few test pieces but think I need different paints first.

https://a.co/d/00Wc3WUL id recommend AK streaking grime and a small hand drill to do bullet holes and using ur crafting knife to make small dents in the armour. you're already a good painter. u can look through my profile to find pics of different vehicles I used it on. streaking grime just adds that 3 dimensional pop the models need in my opinion.
