Subject: [SG] Ghillie suits
Okay, now I've got the 15mm SG minis, and I'm thinking that at least one of my Colonial Militia should be a sniper. I suspect my usual FT-based "spray primer, spray paint, glue to base and you're done" approach isn't going to quite suffice for "create a ghillie suit out

Chris, I use cheesecloth painted appropriately and soaked in watered down elmer's, then artfully draped across the figure. After this dries, add spots of glue and attach foam grass, lichen clumps, whatever, to the figure. I use this for 25mm figs, so the courseness of cheescloth may be off for 15mm, but you may find something with the right grain at your local fabric shop. Rob ps--my geocities page has a picture of a figure done with this technique. www.geocities.com/rwhofrichter [quoted original message omitted]

Briefly, I used strips of lead foil - paper would have been easier - and the same flocking I use on my bases to build up the ghillie suit. One of my snipers is fully suited, and the other has the bottom half of his suit on.
