Ron did you use heat to get the "netting" to shape, or is the lighter being used for weight?

Sorry Jeff,I might have put you on the wrong foot.The lighter is used for size comparison,nothing more,nothing less.
Greetings,Ron.

Looking good Ron
Mats,Bob;
It looks like the Verlinden mesh wire,but it isn't.
Think it is just some piece of wrapping material for chocolate mints or other candy that I've found many years ago on the street.
Someone's garbage is some other guy's usefull stuff!
I've seen somewhere on the net a Panther tank with mesh wire on the gun barrel(could be France in 1944).On several pictures of late war German armor you can see foliage on the gun barrel,it could be held in place with camo netting or chicken wire and/or normal wire.
Greetings,Ron.

It's been a while,so here is a small bit on the 88mm PAK gun again.
First of all,here's a pic I've found on the Net showing a Panther tank with Chicken Wire wrapped around it's barrel.The wire was used to cling foliage around it for camouflage use.
The wire and the use of camo nets will be a benefit for using natural materials like tree branches,leaves,grass and so on...for camo purpose.
Adding some camo net with colored strips of newspaper (hessian material).
Using foliage material from MiniNatur.
Slowly getting into Ambush Mode with this one. ....or camouflaging little screw-ups.

Don't take it outside on the ground, you'd never find it!
