USE A VERY SMALL BRUSH, AND A CONTRASTING COLOR.
PAINT SMALL DIAMOND SHAPES ALL OVER THE SURFACE OF THE HELMET.
A BIT TEDIOUS!
FOR the SS or HEER, they also wore cloth camo covers over their helmets
that were held inplace with leather strapping that was;
a. worn on the outside of the cover (around the sides and across the
top). lower edges tucked into the helmet webbing.
b. worn around the side of the helmet , but laced in and out through
slits in the cover. again ends are folded into helmet webbing.
the Reich's armed forces also painted camo patterns their helmets.
(so did some US ARMY units)
DAWGIE, been there, done that as far as painting netting . . . .
