A question about camouflage nets

Post by HammerWihoutASickle »

So -
With the recent electronic modifications I made to my Leopard 2, thanks to Maxmekker, I decided I wanted to use camouflage nets for the turret and main gun.
I've seen a ton of pictures of Leopards during training exercises, and they all look like bush tenks. I just have one net that is just big enough to cover the main gun and the turret, just up to the gunner's optics. The question I have is, how exactly do I make the net stay there when I'm running the tank off road.

I'll also need to stick a ton of foliage on the netting to make it look like there are branches and parts of the undergrowth on the gun and turret.
How do I accomplish this?

I ask too many questions.

Go to a place that sells artificial plant products for the floral arrangement hobby.
It’s a start anyway

I used a garland I found at Hobby Lobby on my Jagdpanzer IV. Closest thing I could find to real branches.

Yeah, and you think I can find them this side of the pond :(
Did you try their website, Mick? They might post to you.

If not, let me know and we can work something out.
