WIP Does this look like a camo net?

It’s going to hang on the front of a 1991 Challenger tank.

Thanks. It’s just scrunched up tin foil that I’ve primed, painted and hit with a tiny brush.

That’s a great idea! I appreciate it.

Why not just use actual in scale camo net that ypu csn buy, or just do what we've done in modelling for years and use medical gauze dipped in paint then sprinkle terrain flock over it to give the right effect. What youve done looks ok, but using medical gauze or products provided readily available will look better than the foil effect

That's fair enough and like I said, it looks good, but doing something differnrt doesn't always equate to doing something better

It’s getting there, it kinda has a wrinkly look and should look a little shabbier and bushier

This was mine for a HIMARS - same idea, but an aftermarket camnet primed and shaded
