Nettings for 25mm helmets

Beth, 

There are some hobby co.s that make some 
small fine netting (flexible) of either plastic or 
fiber. They can be painted (dip probably the 
easiest), cut and probably shaped. You could 
probably find something equivalent in a fabric 
store.... (Oh wait, you live in the ass-end of the 
ass-end of nowhere.... hmmm... tougher 
search....*grin*). My solution to this problem is 
take an appropriate vaguely circular chunk of 
this netting, paint the figure, dye dip the net 
(can do two colours to get camo if you want), 
then let it dry to at least a minorly damp level, 
then soak the net with a bit of white glue/water 
mix, then apply to helmet. This can also be used 
to make bandana headcovers (soldiers 
including myself used to use these small nets as 
suncovers sometimes in place of helmet or 
beret or boonie hat). 

Sorry I have no name for you.... I dunno whose 
it was I bought. I think it was tank or aircraft 
netting in whatever (non-25mm) scale. But I'm 
sure if you look around, you could find this stuff 
or its equivalent.
