Some detail about scramble nets 1/12 Scale
https://model-boats.com/blogs/37275#64926

Thanks for all the replies. Plenty of ideas, my wife has said that if I get stuck she’ll try and crochet some if I find a suitable material! Now need to delete my browsing history on fishnet stockings.

I have seen some supermarket fruit products packaged in a net-like product which could scale up to maybe 6"-12" pitch netting.

A neighbour wanted some for one of his models and said that old keep nets (not the new ones) are ideal.

My brother-in-law is an angler and frequenter of boot sales and got him an old net which was just the job.

Yes, over 10 years ago I made a scramble net for my Graupner Wiesel (scale: 1/40). I made it by starting with a flat piece of woo, marking off a grid to the size I wanted it to be. Next I put in some brads (small nails) along all sides then weaved and knotted the lines. Finally, I added the round disks to the sides that keep the net away from the hull for safer climbing.

There are plenty of references for full sized nets (even how to tie the knots) including this one: https://markusnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/LEI-288-2-SCN8-200-to-400R-FRC-TD-sheet.pdf
