    Thats an excellent tip though Greg and one that I will certainly bear in mind, usually best wait till the other half ladders them and has to throw them away, you get them for free with no hassle then !!! and we do our environmentally friendly bit then by recycling them. Best of Both worlds !!!

      Howdy Mark,

      Well, I really think that if you try it, you will like it. The material stretches and forms to the "hoops" in the back of the truck or, can be cut larger and, like I said above, it can be camoed and then have camo colored bits poked thru the weave to give it added realism.

      Another thing, before you paint the material, you can see thru it, depending on how much paint you apply will determine the opaqueness of the material. You can paint it with a heavy olive drab and get a good military canvas appearance which would be good for the trucks and a lighter coat of camo for netting, since you should be able to see somewhat thru netting in real life.

      Have a good day,

      Greg
