Has anyone been able to look at one these to see if they will work for RKKA? Are they poly or plastic fabric garbage? I have 2 Russian nets that look kinda like these but use a treated fabric. Some of the Czech and Warsaw pact stuff is the same as Soviet stuff -- some of it. I have a stack of Czech Plasch that are just Ike my Soviet ones -- except for the toggles and an added toggle loop --which can be changed or removed. I know some were looking for Camo nets, just throwing this out there... www.hessenantique.com/Czech_12_X_12_Camo_Netting_p/s91449799.htmDaaHVeeD  |

It is more closely equivalent to the 60s, 70s era Soviet netting.
If you can not find original netting, just buy natural fiber large opening fish nets, and get burlap at your local garden store. You can cut the burlap into strips, and weave it through the netting. You can also cut up the burlap, and dye it various shades for multi color netting.

Comrades, One model of netting is a Net with Square bits of cloth tied on dyed Brown, or one of two shades of Green.. it looks like your Granny did it, as maybe one did.

OK, so we're pooh-poohing the Czech Nets in this post and leaning toward make your own. Can we detail it for the new guys where and how to make these "make your own" nets? The US has a camouflage manual and Engineering manuals that detail how to make nets and new GIs can be referred to them... the Red Army would have had such too, any links or ideas? Where today do they get correct basic nets? Typical size of Nets? Size of Squares on nets? Typical colors for cloths/burlaps? How big Cloths/burlaps? Patterns of Cloths -- if used? And so on....

As I said, go to a fishing store (the bigger the better), and get natural fiber fishing nets with larger openings.
Get sheet burlap at any good gardening store (it is used for covering large areas when seeding new grass), and cut it into strips, then weave the strips through the fishing net. You can also dye the burlap strips to get various colors of camo material. When you weave, do not do it all in straight lines.
The purpose of camo netting is to break up the silhouette lines of whatever you are covering. Do not use the net by just draping it over your vehicle, or tent, as that defeats the purpose of the netting. We used poles, and spreaders to modify the shape of the netting, to create the appearance of clumps of trees, bushes, or anything other than what it really was. Remember, the human eye is drawn to familiar shapes, like vehicles, weapons positions, and tents. Your goal is to make your vehicle, weapons positions, etc, not look like what they are.

OK. It's make your own time newbie RKKA reenactors. Here's an idea for collapsible poles that might work nets and tent flys? DaaHVeed Attachments:
