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 . . . .
