Hi All

Don’t know if any of you are into gardening, “ no me really “ I bought a sack of
daf bulbs today, ( after planting them, as you would ), I thought the sack would make good
netting for my Tank, cut it to size I wanted.

As it was orange coloured, I painted it in burnt umber acrylic paint ” no reason for that colour “ to cover it,
let it dry rolled and tied, it makes great netting.

Us Tankies can do other things .

Cheers.

Great but i did that a few years ago, but now the paint flakes off and makes a terrible mess..
don,t say you weren,t warned , nice try.........
Fleshy...............

Maybe a dye?

Hi Fleshy

thanks for the warning, what paint did you use
I used acrylics, i will seal with air lacquer

Don't know if it works let you know in a couple of years .

Cheers

Hi Xrad

How are you mate .

I think Its made from nylon?.

I was going to try bleaching first then painting,
but I have no patience, when i start i've got to finish
it in one go, some times it works and some times:{ .

Cheers.

Hi Gerwyn!

I recently found the best cheap camo netting, called 'creepy cloth', its a halloween decoration so should be in shops now. I saw some today in Clintons cards I think that was £3.99 for 300cmX75cm of it!! You just have to dye it with some acrylic paint or sumut, let it dry then . Its real cloth so very drape-able
Pic for you;

Hi Gerwyn,

I used some gause bandage. Sprayed with black as I'm too lazy to dye. Sprayed with some camo colours. Colour is holding fast. Only took a few minutes and cost nothing. Hope nobody has a accident at work though as I took all the bandage. You can see some pictures of it on the back of my Tiger.

Hi Johnf

Nice one with the bandages, I like all what you have done.

REME as got my tank at the moment, well Ex REME my Nephew
he's looking at the circuit board I made a mess of.

" Restock the first aid box and every thing will be OK ".

Cheers Gerwyn
