abn deuce Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Putting a unused sports stadium or race track to use to aid in the production of Large Camouflage nets for the Military. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferretfixer Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 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! Mike (ferretfixer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I made my camouflage net on the kitchen and dining room floor. I will never ever do one ever again. Horrible job. Tim (too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim (too) :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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 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.

Great War truck Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Jack 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).

ArtistsRifles Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 On the other hand - how much is the job paying!! (not really getting desperate for a job - am I??) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abn deuce Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 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.

AlienFTM Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 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. ;o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
