- Ahoi, mateys! Picking up where we left off in the last video on how to make pallets ( • Quick, Cheap and Easy ... ), in this video I explain how you can make canvas tarpaulins and camouflage nets for yer tabletop wargaming needs.
Have a lovely day! :-) - Jak na to + styl
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.
And they're also tied down to not blow away. Sure, all those draped folds are aesthetic, but it'd blow away in any inclement weather that it's supposed to protect against. Netting is usually used for lifting cargo and moving it, tarpons are used for cover
That's a good point. You could certainly use multiple nets. :-)
Back in my army days we used some quite large camo nets. We had this secret trick: working together. ;-)
Regretfully I must contradict your point if you're referring to the camo netting displayed at 9:55, which is the largets one I noticed in the video. I was on exercise in the British Army only a couple weeks ago handling a camo net far larger than that. When rolled the weight could be handled easily by four individuals, and at a pinch just two though it would be very difficult due to its bulk.
Here is a link to the camo net in question, it should be noted that it is significantly less 'dense' in appearance close up. This is perfectly normal and from a distance it is less noticeable. It's probably worth pointing out that anything under the camo net would be picked up by a drone in moments due to the heat signature.

Love you content Lindybeige :)
@@CheffBryan You could sew the netting to the model pallet. It occurred to me as I was watching to glue lots of bits of cat-litter around the bottom edges to represent rocks weighing it down.
@@thecultofcrafting Working together is a form of cheating!
A job that can be done by two men is less of a problem than one requiring a platoon. Other limitations are the room required around a thing in storage for the people picking it up, and whether the thing can bear its own weight. Also, six nets can be used on six small things or one big thing, so are more versatile. Anyway, my main point was simply that I think someone with just the bandage is fine.
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.
Ha ha, glad you found it interesting! :-D
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
Yeah, exactly. It kinda pulls you out of the immersion when you spot a teddybear or a heart on the camouflage. :-D
dude, the trick is to use shop towels, they are much more water resistant and tend not to have any pattern on them! 5/7
Yeah, baby wipes do the trick. I tried to make tarpauling with tissues, but really that just doesnt work. Baby wipes on the other hand is just perfect.
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!
Thanks, I really appreciate that! :-)
Nice tips for beginner for camo netting, I mostly use cheesecloth on building military tent & on vehicles.
Super helpful. Roller bandage is available at any pharmacy and comes is variable widths.
Fantastic video, the suggestion of pinching the cloth folds to make them feel more to scale is brilliant. Thanks so much for posting this!
Thanks! Yeah, I really liked that too. :-)
It looks amazing mate, once l have my army’s painted I will watch it again for the scenery
Great vid for showing the different results from a variety of materials.
Thanks! Glad you liked it. 😊
that was awesome. i am now inspired to try making my own. so simple, yet adds so much to your terrain
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
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.
Thanks, and you're very welcome. I like 3D printers, but building terrain is enjoyable in itself for me, so printing everything would kinda defeat the purpose. :-)
This one finally caught my attention; and I'm glad it did!
I know mod Podge instead of glue can make it a little firmer when it dries. These are amazing!
Thanks for the tip! :-)
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.
Ah yes, I actually have some NOCH leaves that I planned on trying out for that same thing, but seems I forgot. :-D They're really nice.
I've heard laundry dryer sheets also work well. Nice tutorial!
Thanks! Yeah, I've heard that mentioned. I don't think they're commonly used here. I'll have to check if the store has them at some point. :-)
been toying with the idea of trying to attempt my first diorama and this really helped me, thanks
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.
Thanks! The snipers are one of my favorite projects. :-) I used air drying clay for the snipers' bodies. Just a rough shape. A ball on top of a slightly larger ball. Two sausages for arms. Stick the "gun" in the clay. Cover with net.
Been thinking about making some new ones using leftover weapons from my Adeptus Mechanicus. :-)
My Dad used to run tomb kings in Warhammer fantasy... He started gluing random bones and weapons to bases to fill out back ranks/to simulate summoned undead.
@@erikvale3194 Ah yes, Unit Fillers. A classic lost art form. (I mean, other rank-and-flank games still use it, just not Warhammer. Although I contend you CAN make Unit Filler on round bases, if you glue multiple of them together.)
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.
Really well done video. great work
Thank you very much! :-)
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.
Thanks for the info! :-) I believe they're called dryer sheets - a couple of people have been suggesting them.
True talent! Using everyday objects that everyone has to make ur model stand out! Tak to you !!!
This is so great, haven't seen this explained before except in your videos
Thanks, I hope you find some use for it. :-)
Amazing. Thanks for the inspiration. Just recently saw your videos. Keep up the awesome work.
Amazingly good job!! These look sweet as
Thanks, mate! :-)
Awesome, always happy to stumble onto a new terrain making channel keep up the great work!
Thanks, will do! :-)
Great video and great techniques you use. Thanks much for sharing
Thanks! You're very welcome. :-)
This is stupidly simple but still exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Very helpful. I am new at this but what you show and describe is quite easy to follow. Thank you.
Thanks, I'm happy to hear that. :-)
Excellent guide! Thank you!
Thanks, glad you like it! :-)
These are really great! Perfect for scatter or cover/LOS blocks or objective markers!
Never thought of wipes! Beats using tissue! Fantastic vid!
Thanks! :-) Glad you like it.
These came out great! Thanks for sharing the process
Thanks, man! You're very welcome. :-)
Great presentation! Thanks for the information.
This looks amazing, i can’t wait to see more content from you
Thanks! :-)
Чел, это очень хорошо выглядит и совершенно просто делается. Удачи тебе в твоём хобби. Ты крутой!
Спасибо! :-)
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!
Thanks, glad you like it. :-) Did you use paint for dye? I would think that would harden the paper towel?
Awesome work, looking forward to doing this myself
Thanks, mate! Hope you have fun with it. :-)
These are brilliant mate, thanks for the video!
Glad you like them! 😃
Looks very effective. Some I've seen don't look that realistic but yours look great. Thanks for the information 😉
Thanks, I hope you get some use out of it. :-)
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.
One of the things I really enjoy about making this kind of terrain is that you can get great results with fairly low effort. It's very satisfying. I kinda wanna build a warehouse board too. :-D
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 :)
Thank you very much! :-) That sounds like a great project. I believe the channels Knarb Makes and Eric's Hobby Workshop have done something similar, so perhaps you can find some inspiration there too. :-)
@@thecultofcrafting I know them too but every single video like that is a well of knowledge :)
OMG!!!PURE GENIOUS!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for making this video! You just gained a new Sub and I'm spreading the word. WOW!!!
Welcome to the cult! Thanks for the kind words! :-)
These are awesome! I am adding some wooden ammo/missile crates to a diorama so I may try this as well.
Cool, go for it! :-)
Huh, I've been working on terrain pieces for malifaux, I think this technique will work great for the setting. Thanks for sharing
Great! You're very welcome. :-)
Excellent video mate! This is a brilliant idea!
Thanks, I hope you find some use for it. :-)
You got a new sub... been looking for a channel like this for a while.
Thanks, that's good to hear! :-)
Thank you for the tips and for sharing great ideals
You're so welcome! I hope you find some use for them. :-)
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!
Ah, yes, I hadn't' thought about smaller scales. You should know that cheesecloth comes in different grades then (the number of threads per inch), which have bigger and smaller holes in the net, so I'm guessing you should be able to find something that fits your purpose. 👍
Great video! I notice your channel is new so Keep up the fantastic content.
Thanks! Yeah, everything's still a bit new, but I feel like I'm slowly getting a hang of it. :-)
I will try this one... Amazing video!
Great! Have fun! :-D
They look great, I'll have a go at making them.
Excellent! Have fun. :-)
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!😉👍
Thanks! That's great to hear! 😁 I don't really make models to scale, but I hope you can still get something out of it. 👍
Great tutorial! Thank you for making it
Glad it was helpful! 😊
The cheesecloth looks tremendous. Great work!
Thanks again! :-)
Wonderful ideas here.
Thanks, I hope you find some use for it. :-)
Ty sir great job and very helpful
Nice,.. good tips on modeling for military dioramas
Thanks, glad you like it. :-)
Really liking how these turned out. Piles of crates could easily take the place of the generic xps foam hills everyone seems to use!
Thanks, I was pleasantly surprised about how well they turned out. Especially the big piles, since they were just a spur-of-the-moment thing. :-)
@@thecultofcrafting you could set up a really good skirmish in a warehouse using only this stuff and maybe a forklift or two as terrain!
Yeah, that'd be kinda cool!
Fantastic! I loved it
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
Thanks. :-) I have some tutorials on barbed wire and tank traps, you could check out. I haven't made that many sandbags and the ones I made didn't look that great. :-D But check out TheTerrainTutor here om CZcams. I know he has some sandbag tutorials.
@@thecultofcrafting I already saw the barded wire one, can’t wait to see these tank traps! I cant wait to see what you make next
First time watching. And brilliant
Thanks for sharing your work ☺️
Thanks for watching! :-)
Brilliant work dude! 🤘🤘
Thanks, man! :-)
Beautiful !
Thanks for the video.
I have only to try ... ! At 1/50 for my trucks and construction machines
Thanks! I hope it works out for you. :-)
Great stuff! Thank you
Thanks! Glad you liked it. :-)
Brilliant use of everyday objects
Thanks, mate! :-)
Subd on this alone, fantastic .
you are welcome, one day i will put up video of my dioramas and give credit where it is due !
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.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! :-)
MARAVILLOSO!!!!! SALUDOS DESDE MÉXICO
Cooking supply stores a thing called muslin cloth - used in cheese making and simple filters etc..
first time i ever seen one of your videos and id be stupid if i didnt sub up damn good job man
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. :-)
Nice man, cery cool project
Thanks! :-)
Awesome! Thanks!
Thanks! You're very welcome. 🙂
This is pretty cool, I wonder if this could be sized up to 1/18 scale. Going to have to try it later.
Thanks! :-) You can actually get cheesecloth with more or fewer strings per inch, so that might help to get the right scale.
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.
Ah yes, we did the thing with the poles too. Except when we were too lazy. :-)
Brilliant sir.
Thanks again. 😊
That cheese cloth camo net looks amazing. Have you tried/do you think there is a way you could make them multi colour/camo pattern instead of just OD green? Or I guess they could just be painted like that after they get glued on or w/e. I was thinking that after the first dip, maybe hang it up and do a run by with an airbrush or something.......but yea might just be easier to paint by hand after the fact.
Either way, awesome job man.
Thanks! :-) Yeah, I think what you're saying is doable. Another way would be to just straight up paint it with an airbrush before doing anything else. I'm guessing the paint is thin and flexible enough. After the paint has dried then dip it in glue and apply it. You could also do something similar with washes or watery paints.
You could probably also dip the cloth in a paint/PVA mix, lay it out flat and then dap your secondary paint on there. Then, while everything's still wet, drape it over the thing you want to cover.
beautiful as always
Thanks! :-)
Brilliant!
Great ideas !!!!!
Thank you, the baby wipes, good idea.
You’re very welcome 😊 Glad you found it helpful.
I like to use linen cloth for tarps. I find the cheapest, lightest stuff works best.
Ah, that's a good idea. Hadn't thought of that. :-)
Very cool! 👍🏻
Thanks! :-)
Very cool!
Thanks! Glad you like it. :-)
Good job!
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.
Cool! I like having a variety. That being said, if I could only pick one, I'd go with the cheese cloth. The spray might soften it a bit, but I wouldn't worry about it. BUT unless you're using a foam safe spray, the solvents in the spray will melt the foam.
Big Respect fra Tyskland
Superfin video, rigtig spændende!
Takker! :-)
this is GREAT
Thanks, man! :-)
These are great!
Thanks, glad you like it. :-)
amazing video
Thanks, glad you like it. :-)
Thank you for experimenting and not showing a full plan from the beginning! Great video
Oh, glad you like it. I was a bit worried that it would feel disjointed. :-)
@@thecultofcrafting To me, it has the effect of showing techniques that maybe didn't work perfectly for this application, but since you showed how it worked, we can see how it might work elsewhere.
@@davidfrederick9973 That's good to hear. 🙂
Amazing!
Thanks! 😊
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.
Oh, really? When I use toilet paper, it immediately starts to fall apart when it gets wet. I wonder if there's a big difference between brands. 🤔
@@thecultofcrafting I never thought about different brands. When I first started building models we didn't have dryer sheets and all that stuff. I'm 63 years old. I've been a State Fair model judge for 17 years. If you go to the aerospace museum in Oklahoma , I've built a lot of models for that museum. I built a big model tribute of the space shuttle Challenger. I am a fine scale model builder. I love this hobby. Hope everyone has a nice day!!
@@unknownuser2737 That sounds cool. 🙂
awesome
The same way the shape of the barrel was made, if you use thicker cardboard and use smaller sections, you can easily make your own detailed barrels without a printer.
Yeah, I've seen some people making great barrels from scratch. But I've never quite managed to make good looking barrels myself. 😁
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.
Cool. Thanks for the tip! :-)
@@thecultofcrafting my mistake mate...nets are only 8 by 13 inches but still big enough to cover the pallets you made...👍🏻
@@johnroy2567 Yeah, 8x13 will easily work. :-)
@@thecultofcrafting excellent, I hope you get what you're looking for, I've got a bag of unopened rubble lying around the flat, I'll look them out later & send you the company name too....I'm sure they're mainland UK as well...,😁👍... hopefully you'll showcase your new projects with stuff I've been able to help you track down...😁👍
I use used dryer sheets washed out by hand then spray paint them for camouflage netting.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to try that out sometime. :-)
Супер. спасибо.
