I’ve seen a few camo netting tutorials, but this is the first I’ve felt like having a go at. Bravo!
Great, glad you liked it, post a pic if you do 🙂
The hobby lab is building up into a great series. No weekender tomorrow so I’m going to save it until then.
Great video guys. Stopping on the way home from work now for some cheapo wash cloths! Hey, at 23:45, it almost sounds like Warren is playing a little tune with the spray can. 🙂 Easter egg? Or have I just had too much coffee today?
33:09 SHAMOOONE! Laughed out loud at the office, people in other cubicles were looking over 🙂
That looks brilliant 🙂 Am definitely going to have to have a go at this myself!
Good video, think I might camo wrap my Christmas tree 😀
Nice one guys, but to save time, why not print out the templates with the holes already out……. 😉 Not that I have tried it but if the cloth was already wet, would the sprey paint leak through? I like the little poles you made for the camo net too. I would be tempted to make some mushrooms for them though in order for the not to pierce the netting. Maybe a blob of greenstuff on the end would do for a cheap quick fix? Really enjoying these hobby videos. 😀 P.s. on another video you made some brown gunk… Read more »
Nice! very good tutorial!
Haha, I am going to raid our kitchen and steal the cloth…
superb again guys… can’t wait to see whats next. any chance of roads?
Thanks for yet another great show guys.
Great tutorial! These are my favourite videos to watch. 🙂
I was just sitting here basecoating my Italeri bunker (my brother and I play Bolt Action in 20mm or 1/72 scale) and while watching this I ran to the kitchen, got a washing cloth and now I have a camo nett for my bunker! Brilliant!
If you want your templates to last forever, print directly onto acetate sheets, the stuff the use for overhead projector images. Cutting that many holes into a laminated sheet will be tough going and would be likely to delaminate.
Would you leave it whit for snow camo netting?
Let me have a think about that… I’ll post back
Snow camo is usually White with a mixture of greys in the same shape disrupting patterns. Google image snow camo you’ll sure to get loads of different designs
Neat idea about the alternate color schemes, @griff92 and @huscarle . This video came just too late for a recent Eastern Front 1941 campaign we’re wrapping up, but just in time as we switch to a 1940-1942 Desert War campaign. I’ll probably leave out the greens and add in additional browns for a sandy-desert camo net . . . and yes, I’ve already raided the kitchen for dishcloths (girlfriend hasn’t caught me yet 🙂 ).
I’ve never seen a cloth like like that. We use brushes to clean the dishes.
The towels for wiping spills aren’t like that either… cultural differences I guess.
Randomly, even though they are called dishcloth’s, I’ve never known anyone actually use them for cleaning the crockery, I’ve always used them for cleaning and wiping down the surfaces in the kitchen.
Another excellent Video, I really like this series. More please.
use coffee to die the clothe
Really would love to get some of those sprays to try this sort of thing out, but Modelmate sprays dont appear to exist outside of Europe
Just started looking through the “Hobby Lab`s”, this one is one i`ll be having a go at. Now of to see what else i can find…………………..
Great demo guys, for the leaves you could try Birch seed it looks just like tri point leaves and is free!!
