Fine mesh

[jknaus]

I found a very fine mesh product. Cant remember if I posted before so here it goes.

Lipton tea in the pyramid bags is awesome as a mesh.

And even though this is a wingy thingy if you look down the round intake you will see what it looks like in place

Oh and it tastes good too.

This is a good technique and it's universal.
I can see a number of diorama applications for it, screen doors, screen windows.
The screen can be used for engine covers in the AFV world.

Great tip, double use out the product too.

Another option is fine woven mesh ribbons which can be found at craft shops. The one I found is about 4cm wide.

At the top is wedding veil tulle (top) compared to the ribbon (bottom) The weave of the ribbon is very fine, very square and regular and looks and feels like a polyester type material. (Yhe grid on the cutting mat is 1cm.)

Here's what it looks like as a mesh on the radiator grilles on a 1/35 M113.

Great tips, guys! For attaching PE or other materials, this is the best stuff I've found for easy, inexpensive and dries clear (almost invisible!) Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive.

Wal-Mart, Hobby Lobby, Michael's, pretty much anywhere that carries scrap booking materials will have it, should be around about $4-5 USD. I put a little in a beer cap, then apply it with a small piece of wire. Hope this helps!!

I use heavily thinned green putty from Squadron works like a treat alhtough I do like the scotch spray stuff I may try that in the future
