I am looking for some ideas of material I can use for window nets. I don't mind if I have to paint it, but I want it to look as real as possible. Any suggestions are appreciated.

small neting from a Hobby shops that carry stuff for Doll houses...
we used this a few times for some "Stock Car Replicas" we did........
some of the bigger HobbyTowns will carry this as well as some hobby shops that will carry other items for various different kinds of crafts and hobbies.....
also window screen will work well too....can get this from most hardware stores.....
hope this can help.....

dry wall tape works well also...

Good call!! That never even crossed my mind, and I have about 30 rolls of it out in the tool shed. I am gonna give that a try tonight. I would imagine if it was painted and sealed it will be plenty tough enough. Thanks.

I am putting window nets on a Grasshopper body after the driver is painted, just to add to the scale appearance.

I use the dry wall tape,the open mesh fiberglass one it has the sticky side so after you put it down and then ca it around the edges you can take a magic marker and paint it black.I is pretty tough to I ran it into the bushes and it held the big stuff out very well.(those bushes just jumped out in front)

Thanks, that's what I ended up deciding to use is the mesh tape. It will be perfect once I finish the rest of the body.

You can also get fiberglass window mesh at the local lumber company. The stuff they use for screen windows..

That's a good idea too. I think I will try that on my next project.

i've used the window screen..and although it doesn't look accurate it works very well..keeps most of the crap outa your chassis area.
