My old boy Theodore, when he did such things was called,for some strange reason Dracula, normally " bugger off Dracula ".  He was actually named after Theodore Gordon,a very famous figure,tho' esoteric lol

Cheers Chaps,
I got seriously sidetracked this evening and made a couple of ghillie suited figures.Not your usual poses but a fun way to pass the evening.
Like the wandering little lance jack,I'm not sure if I'll add them to the casting box but if you want to see them I'll pop them on the thread .

(Unfortunately our cat is a fully paid up arse hole.Hes just over ten months old and lost his eye in fight with a fox. Which ment he was spoilt rotten . Now he's tasted the good life he sees no reason why normal service should resume. What's worse is he's still growing as they grow for something around two years.hes already too big to sit on your knee without his half his body hanging over your knee.Which is no problem because you just stick your claws in a shin,until a legs raised and you can stretch out.)

 lol
Now I know I'm tired because that just read like a Carry On line. No idea how much the cat ways. As no scales are allowed in the house (a fostering/respite thing ;))
 
I couldn't just leave it at two random ghillie suit poses so I've made another two tonight .That way if you do like them I'll chuck them in the box of stuff for Simon.
I'll add some pictures in the morning.
Mark.

Here you go .
Personally I think nothing sums up Wargaming like the portrayal of a concealment.(The need to have a visual representation of something that by definition is not meant to be seen..)
Here's yours the next problem ghillie suits are as individual as the person that made them.Although basic how too's were issued.(I'll add a couple of pics).
Everyone and his dog has an idea what they should look like.
Especially the period versions. Which leads to lovely photos of nice and neat  suits that haven't spent days in a hedge row or been rained on .Which are then seen as gospel coz there in a book ::)
So I mused on how to hybrid all the juxtaposed points into a man shaped miniature rather than a true non man shaped figure.

Very nice work Mark on the snipers. In particular, the sniper drawing a sketch of his surroundings.

Cheers,

Helen
Best wishes,
