Cargo Nets?

[DioRandy]

Does anybody happen to know where I might find a 1/35-scale cargo net?
I'm looking for one that would have been commonly used to drop supplies from helicopters during Vietnam.
The ones I've seen in photos appear to be made of heavy rope and feature a pattern of squares.
I could probably make one myself out of string, but I'm not feeling that ambitious.
Perhaps, someone knows of a scratch-build tutorial or what gauge of string would be appropriate.
Any leads would be much appreciated.

Thachweave makes two types of cargo nets in 1/35. Scroll about half way down the page to see them.

Heard people use orange bags for it

I have a fairly recent magazine that did an article on cargo nets using gauze, white glue and paint. I'll see if I can turn it up this weekend. :frantic

I think I've seen Cheese Cloth used for that kind of thing before.

Just bookmarked the website.

Thatchweave, I'll have to check that out. I've been looking for something like that.

Clear up right!
