producing large camouflage nets

[abn deuce]

Putting a unused sports stadium or race track to use to aid in the production of Large Camouflage nets for the Military.

That Stadium is better employed there for nets, than for watching 22 Grown Adults kicking a Pigs bladder from one end of the field to the other!

I made my camouflage net on the kitchen and dining room floor. I will never ever do one ever again. Horrible job.

:sweat::sweat:not good reading - we are just about to undertake such a job for jeep nets......Tim you are more than welcome to give us a hand :coffee:

How many do you have to make? And why? Which pattern do you intend to do? The single colour in the "Greek Key" pattern is the easiest and most effective. What made mine so awkward was my attempt to use the three colour scheme. As i said, horrible job.

This is a business venture you may well come to regret (unless of course you have a large amount of spare time on your hands). Buy the plain nets and some hessian strip. Put the two together and then sell completed camouflage nets. Brilliant idea. I wonder why no one else had thought of doing it?

 

Actually, there is a reason. It is a horrible long job (to do it properly) and not something that you can easily do in front of the TV. It makes a terrible mess as the hessian turns to dust and after a while it is really painful on your fingers. Thanks for the offer of the postcode but i will probably steer clear of Dorset until you have finished (so the next 3 years then really).

On the other hand - how much is the job paying!! (not really getting desperate for a job - am I??)

I think I ve found why Jack's really interested in making camouflage nets ..and not the small ones :idea:. lets just say hes talked about a certain vehicle ,one he would like to own and the interest of recreating historic photo's :shocked:

Here is a good example of what they put those Large nets to use in WWII

 

U.S. Army Engineers / U.S. Army Engineers at water point where water is sucked fr. stream into settling tanks while rebuilding bridges demolished by retreating Germans during WWII. Location: Italy Date taken: 1944 Photographer: Margaret Bourke-White

Nothing if not subtle, abn - well done! :banana:

Hi Gary,

 

Yes we are a long with German and US nets - just waiting for Tim to turn up.

[AlienFTM]

That photo is a prime example of why you don't just throw a cam net over a vehicle and peg it at the corners.

 

I have whinged often enough in here - not repeating myself.
