QUOTE: Originally posted by cacole I don't know if white nylon stockings are still made or not, but medical nurses used to always wear white nylons. A nylon stocking would be even closer to proper scale for chain link in HO than tulle; however, it would also be far more difficult to cut because it would not have the stifness of tulle.

QUOTE: Originally posted by Bilby2k Have you tried TermiMesh? OK, that's its name in Australia, but I am sure you would have similar products in the USA. It is a stainless steel wire mesh - a bit like mosquito netting - with a mesh width of 1/32" and is used around drainpipes, house stumps etc, to stop termites from entering through the holes in the foundations, etc. . . . I was out for a morning walk and found a pile of off-cuts on a building site which gave me enough material to make miles of fencing! It trims easily with scissors and does not need painting. If it is too shiny when new, probably a soaking in vinegar would dull the surface. Try entering the term "termite mesh" or "stainless steel mesh" in Google and see what comes up. Many manufacturers are quite happy to send you small samples of their products if you ask nicely . . . .
