How to Make Tarps and Camo Netting for Wargaming // Terrain Warhammer 40K, Necromunda and Kill Team 

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.

I click in, casually expect to be mildly intrigued. Not suddenly flung into a hobbying frenzy at 2230 in the evening on a weeknight! Bloody good stuff. Will definitely try this... and whatever else is on this channel.

Yoooo! So cool! I hadn't thought of using baby wipes! You also have the benefit of not having to deal with any patterns on paper towels, sometimes they put flowers or something

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.

The most incredible part of this video is you only have about 5000 subscribers! You definitely earned at least one more, and I’ll share the video with my friends. Keep up the fantastic work!

I know mod Podge instead of glue can make it a little firmer when it dries. These are amazing!

I've heard laundry dryer sheets also work well. Nice tutorial!

that was awesome. i am now inspired to try making my own. so simple, yet adds so much to your terrain

Very cool, old school ways. I grew up before 3D printers took over the world. I have used lots of gauge for net and have rolled many tarps out of tissue. Thanks for sharing.

Super helpful. Roller bandage is available at any pharmacy and comes is variable widths.

Nice tips for beginner for camo netting, I mostly use cheesecloth on building military tent & on vehicles.

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.

sweet exactly the kind of video i wanted, wanting to make astra militarum heavy weapons teams with extra bases + camo netting and a weapon to get more value

This one finally caught my attention; and I'm glad it did!

Never thought of wipes! Beats using tissue! Fantastic vid!

I forgot how fun this kind of terrain was. I did a IG table with that same technique. I may have to do a new project now. I could use a 3x3 warehouse skirmish board.

This is stupidly simple but still exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Чел, это очень хорошо выглядит и совершенно просто делается. Удачи тебе в твоём хобби. Ты крутой!

Awesome, always happy to stumble onto a new terrain making channel keep up the great work!

Amazing. Thanks for the inspiration. Just recently saw your videos. Keep up the awesome work.

These are really great! Perfect for scatter or cover/LOS blocks or objective markers!

Late to this party, but this is really inspiring. I've tried gauze with some tea leaves sprinkled on top that gives a nice camo netting look.

Really well done video. great work

Really liking how these turned out. Piles of crates could easily take the place of the generic xps foam hills everyone seems to use!

These came out great! Thanks for sharing the process

This looks amazing, i can’t wait to see more content from you

Looks great u can also xut a sponge and easily make digital camo on it before u drape it ... Then and a wash of darker paint and lighter on the highlights

Great presentation! Thanks for the information.

These are awesome! I am adding some wooden ammo/missile crates to a diorama so I may try this as well.

Wonderful ideas here.

I see that you just recently started uploading to youtube. Great work so far. I look forward to your future videos mate :) P.S. I'm plannning to build a great fortress monastery in the future so I bet your videos will be really helpful for me :)

These are brilliant mate, thanks for the video!

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. But I model Games Workshop 40K Imperial Guard Catachans I have over 6 thousand troops and sundress as I'm a Disabled Veteran who lives out of a wheelchair nowadays, Cheers from DownUnder Bob.

Cooking supply stores a thing called muslin cloth - used in cheese making and simple filters etc..

Fantastic video, the suggestion of pinching the cloth folds to make them feel more to scale is brilliant. Thanks so much for posting this!

Nice,.. good tips on modeling for military dioramas

This is pretty cool, I wonder if this could be sized up to 1/18 scale. Going to have to try it later.

First time watching. And brilliant

Pegasus hobbies run a line called Military Museum Collection...it's basically camo nets, brick wall sections & battlefield debris...the nets are huge when opened out fully.

OMG!!!PURE GENIOUS!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for making this video! You just gained a new Sub and I'm spreading the word. WOW!!!

This is great content! For hO scale problably this can be done with different materials, but the concept is top! I'm subscribing your channel!😉👍

first time i ever seen one of your videos and id be stupid if i didnt sub up damn good job man

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.

You got a new sub... been looking for a channel like this for a while.

Really nice video! I had thought about using gauze for some netting at 15mm scale but it's a bit too loose, but I think the cheesecloth might work a bit better!

This looks so awesome! Could you do other sorts of decor or objects from either world war maybe? Sandbags would also be great to see

Subd on this alone, fantastic .

Great vid for showing the different results from a variety of materials.

Félicitations, c'est un très bon tutoriel et c'est la première fois que je valide l'utilisation du polyuréthane expansé ! Le coup de la bande de bandage pour les bâches, c'est cool, mais je n'achète rien je recycle ! Je pense qu'un vieux tee-shirt fera l'affaire ! Je mettrai ton lien dans ma vidéo pour l'inspiration. Merci et continue c'est très instructif. A si pense à la santé de tes sectateurs mets des gents qu'en tu manipules un objet tranchant.

Thank you, the baby wipes, good idea.

Great video! I notice your channel is new so Keep up the fantastic content.

Great tutorial! Thank you for making it

Nice man, cery cool project

Fantastic! I loved it

Excellent video mate! This is a brilliant idea!

Use old used up towels and rags cut em up and paint em or not

Brilliant!

amazing video

Great ideas !!!!!

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.

I will try this one... Amazing video!

MARAVILLOSO!!!!! SALUDOS DESDE MÉXICO

Great stuff! Thank you

Good job!

Very cool! 👍🏻

Where do you get your xps foam from?

For the nets, i would use a bandage from the first aid kit in my car. Even if it was for no other reason that the pure joy of using one befor i have to throw them away.

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.

Would you recommend Matt Varnishing before or after applying netting?

Thanks for sharing your work ☺️

beautiful as always

awesome

Amazing!

Superfin video, rigtig spændende!

Tak!

Hvor i Danmark kan man købe det fin kornet skum plader (kan ikke huske navnet lige nu) uden at man skal købe 10cm tykke plader ?.

What Brand of Paint and brushes you use

Hvor finder du lyserød XPS foam i Danmark?

These are great!

👌👌👌

I’m overthinking terrain making 😅

Nice, got a new sub from me.

Nice work. :)

Do I spot a danish accent? If so, where do you source XPS? It is a pain to get a hold of here.

very cool crafting but wooden pallets don't feel like 40k.

Looks awesome! Stealing this for some 40k Imperial Guard bases for sure

For an extra camo effect i sometimes sprinkle leaf flocking like NOCH's leaves foliage over the wet gluey, painted netting. Works especially well with smaller nets like over sniper rifles and such.

Great video and great techniques you use. Thanks much for sharing

been toying with the idea of trying to attempt my first diorama and this really helped me, thanks

I've been having great effect with little square loops of card I made a little pile of them on a 2x2 inch platform made a neat little skeleton for these. I just had loads of card but no foam. And I just used a couple of layers of toilet roll mod podge together and carefully put over. Not perfect but it was so easy and quick I'm fine with it.

True talent! Using everyday objects that everyone has to make ur model stand out! Tak to you !!!

Thank you for experimenting and not showing a full plan from the beginning! Great video

It looks amazing mate, once l have my army’s painted I will watch it again for the scenery

Amazingly good job!! These look sweet as

Excellent guide! Thank you!

Awesome work, looking forward to doing this myself

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!

Very helpful. I am new at this but what you show and describe is quite easy to follow. Thank you.

Take a look at dryer sheets

This is so great, haven't seen this explained before except in your videos
