    Real camouflage netting over very large things will be made up of a few nets, because there is a limit to how big a net can be made and how much netting a man can handle, so using the bandages to represent more than one net thrown over a pile is fine. The really massive pile of crates covered in one massive net would require a net bigger than anyone could lift. Of course, in a sci-fi world, they might have drone copters to drop huge ultra-light netting onto such things.

      And they're also tied down to not blow away. Sure, all those draped folds are aesthetic, but it'd blow away in any inclement weather that it's supposed to protect against. Netting is usually used for lifting cargo and moving it, tarpons are used for cover

      That's a good point. You could certainly use multiple nets. :-)
      Back in my army days we used some quite large camo nets. We had this secret trick: working together. ;-)

      Regretfully I must contradict your point if you're referring to the camo netting displayed at 9:55, which is the largets one I noticed in the video. I was on exercise in the British Army only a couple weeks ago handling a camo net far larger than that. When rolled the weight could be handled easily by four individuals, and at a pinch just two though it would be very difficult due to its bulk.
      Here is a link to the camo net in question, it should be noted that it is significantly less 'dense' in appearance close up. This is perfectly normal and from a distance it is less noticeable. It's probably worth pointing out that anything under the camo net would be picked up by a drone in moments due to the heat signature.

      @@thecultofcrafting Working together is a form of cheating!
      A job that can be done by two men is less of a problem than one requiring a platoon. Other limitations are the room required around a thing in storage for the people picking it up, and whether the thing can bear its own weight. Also, six nets can be used on six small things or one big thing, so are more versatile. Anyway, my main point was simply that I think someone with just the bandage is fine.

  • @IshanDeston
    @IshanDeston 2 года назад +2

    A good "loose" cloth type is dryer cloth (color trapping sheets? Whatever its called in english. The stuff you add to a dryer so it won't stain clothing). Its loose-ish woven, irregular in size of the holes and you can stain it with about anything. If you stain them before you glue them you seal the stained color in, with the pva. Instead of babywipes, i would also recommend buying cheap, non embossed paper towels or napkins. Many of the cheap ones ain't embossed and you can pick them apart to get some of the layers off, making them smaller. Then water down PVA and spritz it on with a spritzer bottle (or an atomizer). Unlike Baby wipes the paper cloth will soak the glue up, become wet and thus fall "naturally", much more so than the Babywipes will be, which contain oils and all sort of stuff, that can make painting difficult later on.

    Love the snipers. I've given some thought into the ways excess bits can be stretched to more models, to save money on kits. Having extra arms and heads peeking out from under netting, while the "body" is just a frame of sprue the bits are glued to, sounds like a neat idea.

      Thanks! The snipers are one of my favorite projects. :-) I used air drying clay for the snipers' bodies. Just a rough shape. A ball on top of a slightly larger ball. Two sausages for arms. Stick the "gun" in the clay. Cover with net.

    Nice work, I like your approach of trying different techniques and sharing your results. I achieved a similar effect by first dyeing a paper towel in the color I wanted (in my case, black), then, after drying, soaking it in watered down mod podge. I think the thickness of the paper towel combined with the slight bumpy texture made for a nice result. I'll try cheesecloth next time!

    Great idea, but I use wound square dressings as they come in a few sizes here in Australia, I have used greenstuff from Army Painter if you can get it, just make it up and keep it wet, mound it to the tarp size and place it over the object, wait till it drys and then paint it. About large nets/camo nets we carried on Military trucks we also carried large poles with forks on the ends so two Soldiers could camo up a truck in twenty minutes and you did so in a way so from the air the truck looks like a mound or a small bunch of wildlife of hedges. I make my tarps up with different colours like camo, but it's up to your own needs, I just became one of your new members, I'm in my late 50s and have been modeling since I was 8yrs old and I can remember my first kits were the 1/76 scale Airfix kits which I own still.

      Thanks! :-) You can actually get cheesecloth with more or fewer strings per inch, so that might help to get the right scale.

    I use toilet paper or Kleenex. I dip it in deluded Elmer's glue. Laid on whatever I'm covering wait for it to dry. Then paint, when it dries it looks real. Never had a problem with it.

    • @thecultofcrafting
      @thecultofcrafting  2 года назад

      Oh, really? When I use toilet paper, it immediately starts to fall apart when it gets wet. I wonder if there's a big difference between brands. 🤔

      @@thecultofcrafting I never thought about different brands. When I first started building models we didn't have dryer sheets and all that stuff. I'm 63 years old. I've been a State Fair model judge for 17 years. If you go to the aerospace museum in Oklahoma , I've built a lot of models for that museum. I built a big model tribute of the space shuttle Challenger. I am a fine scale model builder. I love this hobby. Hope everyone has a nice day!!

    That cheese cloth camo net looks amazing. Have you tried/do you think there is a way you could make them multi colour/camo pattern instead of just OD green? Or I guess they could just be painted like that after they get glued on or w/e. I was thinking that after the first dip, maybe hang it up and do a run by with an airbrush or something.......but yea might just be easier to paint by hand after the fact.
    Either way, awesome job man.

    • @thecultofcrafting
      @thecultofcrafting  2 года назад +1

      Thanks! :-) Yeah, I think what you're saying is doable. Another way would be to just straight up paint it with an airbrush before doing anything else. I'm guessing the paint is thin and flexible enough. After the paint has dried then dip it in glue and apply it. You could also do something similar with washes or watery paints.
      You could probably also dip the cloth in a paint/PVA mix, lay it out flat and then dap your secondary paint on there. Then, while everything's still wet, drape it over the thing you want to cover.

    Going to try and make these tonight! Any thoughts on which option was best? Like baby wipes only/baby wipes plus cheese cloth/cheese cloth only? Or is part of the idea to have some variation in textures and colours. So you think painting them with a spray can will soften the pva glue? Tempted to just paint them after.

    • @thecultofcrafting
      @thecultofcrafting  Год назад

      Cool! I like having a variety. That being said, if I could only pick one, I'd go with the cheese cloth. The spray might soften it a bit, but I wouldn't worry about it. BUT unless you're using a foam safe spray, the solvents in the spray will melt the foam.

    The same way the shape of the barrel was made, if you use thicker cardboard and use smaller sections, you can easily make your own detailed barrels without a printer.

    At 6:55 you use the same colour for crates and the netting to cover them. It should look better to use a different, darker, colour on the crates.
