Global Scale Modeller

I´m building Revell´s Marder 1A5 right now, the kit comes with two plastic parts which depict stored camouflage nets. They look aweful so i wanted to replace them.



So i took some military gauze bandage and a mixture of tea and marjoram, as you can see they are both grinded. Make sure the particles have the right size, it shouldn´t be too fine.


Then i mixed some water and wood glue together put the gauze bandage into it so its soaked with the glue.


Next i put the soaked bandages on the tank.


Finally i mixed the tea and marjoram with wood glue and water aswell and applied it on the netting.


When dried up its solid and can be painted the way you want to.


I´m amazed how easy it was, i plan to build a modern tank with a camouflage netting all over it, i think it will look awesome!

Brilliant, and cheaper than PE nets! Cheers dude!

What a great idea, just need to find the bandage now

Thanks for tip! It definitely looks much better.

Well knock me down with a feather. So simple but effective. Will certainly give that a go at some point!

Regards Dave.

Seems simple till I have a whack at it

That's fantastic.. I have some gauze right here... Now to raid the spice cupboard while the wife sleeps...
It's ok...I do it all the time haha.

A great tip Michael, I was doing something similar but I was never happy with the leaves. Yours look a lot better.
New recipe

Top job! I'd like to see that tank!

Thank you guys
When the model is finished you will see how it looks when painted up. The last picture i showed of the model looks a bit weird, actually it is much better.

Look forward to seeing that come together Michael

thats how it looks like when painted.

I used a jay cloth but only painted it camo. This is a better idea! Thanks

Another tip I'm going to borrow from you buddy! It's a long list!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!

Awesome technique mate, looks really great

knowing how good I am with wood glue, i'll probably end up having myself a cammo shirt

Nice work there, it looks like the real thing!

Fantastic job with that home made camo netting!
