Good, CHEAP, "Camo Netting"
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2009 11:02 pm
I'm a Big Lots freak, and love to scour for PTE stuff there if it's out and about...
What I found though last year, and there's a good restock of it this year, is pretty decent camo netting in about 1:18 scale. It's a Halloween decoration for $4.99 called "Torn Creepy Cloth". Not all BL stores have it, but it's pretty decent netting to cover a base, a tank, or whatnot. The weave isn't tight, so it looks more like the kind of netting used to cover bases and things... It comes in a black/charcoal color, "tan" that's to be off-white I guess, but works good for a desert look, and then there's a light green as well... my favorite.
I bought it last year because it was cheap and I figured, why not. You get a lot of it, and I'm willing to try anything that maybe has a good unfound use, and this works well IMO. Just draping it over a tank and it's instantly obscured quite nicely... I could see a cool set up with tent poles too... As I understand it, camo netting was often very mix/matched as best as the tank crews could come up with at times.
Worth a shot if you're interested and have BL stores near you.
