My experience with this bandage material is that it doesn't soak up the wash very well. so I use an old trick: let it soak in a strong brew of tea for about 8 to 24 hours. Depending on howlong you let it soak it will give you a tan to dark brown colour. After drying you can always paint it in whatever camo colour you like.
Nice Tutorial and also good advices for the use. Also a good example that patience and creativity can save money that can than be spend on other stuff.
Why is this better than airbrushing gauze? I'm curious because that's what I have done for years. Now I started laser cutting aluminum foil for netting.
hey after watching your video I went to wallgreens to try and find some gauze to use and stoped at homedepot for some stuff and at the halloween section lolz I found something called "halloween fabric" and it seems to be about the same pattern to the one you get when stretching the gauze i think it save time do to the fact that is stretch in my opinion I think is a great alternative
Man...they won't see those assault cannons pop out at them now. I've always wanted to learn how to make those camo-nets. Mine all failed miserably. Superb tutorial. Cut down just a tad on the music, it was just loud enough to almost compete with your voice. Also, possibly doing a voice over might help with making your voice clearer with music. I do like, however, that you can address problems on the fly doing the non voice over videos.
Use the material part of actual bandages, no need to remove any plaster or coating and they are really absorbent so colour easily. If you dont have any spare, you can pick them up at the local £1 shop.
A scale one or real one? I'm a retired Designated marksman and graduate of the clandestine surveillance class. I teach how to make a real suit. For scale you would use thin threads. I have done 1/35 and 1/16 using sewing thread. It's better and faster.
Nr. 1--you don't have to explain every little detail, just do the work and people will figure out what your doing, such as dabbing the paint bush on the netting. Nr. 2--those drums are monotonous and annoying as hell! I could barely understand what you were saying with that drumming almost drowning you out! Aaaarrrggghhh! Overall, not bad. I like the technique of placing the wet net over the object to be camo'ed and letting it dry. Then the net will drape and take on the proper shape rather than stick out at weird, unsupported angles from the surface.
Too shaky and drums annoying! See other ppl have commented on this and you have said it was one of your first.appreciate your time in sharing your knowledge but maybe try another and take this down . It’s at the top of the list when you search making tank camo nets. Hopefully there will be another tutorial similar. Thanks again for trying 😕
