Greetings all,
Reference the addition of a Camo net or covering.
Due to the relative size of what a Mech is proposed to be, the Camo netting would be massive. And well beyond what a small crew could handle to attempt any disruption of the shape or thermal signature.
- But to be used to conceal a maintenance structure or field ammo reload point could probably work.
There are various types of 1/35 scale Camo netting that can be purchased at scale model shops. Or you could attempt to make your own.
- Materials to test build them are, 'cheese cloth', mosquito netting, fine hair netting and similar fine mesh materials.
- The material needs to be paintable, stainable, or be in a colour your looking for.
- Modern Camo netting is composed of two layers of materials, a mesh net and an attached thermal disruptive plastic material.
(sliced and coloured differently on each side for the Camo effect.)
- The large netting with interlaced bands of cloth material is WW2 era and replaced with IR disruptive plastics years ago.
This is an example of what modern Camo looks like:
Here's a few links to show the scale model netting. (example's only)

But these materials are photo-etched and difficult to find sometimes. (excellent detail and quality but hard to work with.)
Here's the normal Google selection of some model Camo ideas: (under images)
