Hello everyone, here is a little tutorial on how i make ghillie suits.

1. First thing to start with, is to build your mini. I used a bigger base, because i don't play and so i don't have to care about
rules or base sizes...the mini was cut apart, as it was needed and then pinned with flower wire to get the position i wanted.



2. i would suggest to work in steps, so that you can build up some nice layers.
Flatten some green stuff and put it on one leg.



3. push it with your tool in place. Try to push it, until it touches the base.



4. take your tweezers and pull the green stuff slightly down. Start at the bottom and work yourself slowly
to the top of the leg. Try to get a random pattern to make it look more natural. Finished that, repeat this on the second leg.











5. next step is to cover the torso. The procedure is the same. If you don't cover all the areas in one go, just add some small saussages
of green stuff on the uncovered areas and work them into the suite. ( i would suggest to leave the shoulder pads visible at his stage and cover them later)





6. next is adding some green stuff on the arms. First i filled the gaps to get a closed surface to work on.
Then again, wrap some gs around the arm and pull it with your tweezers.





7. at this stage you can also cover the shoulder pads. You can randomly add some extra structre by using your tool.



8. next is adding some green stuff on the head. Same technic as before. Try to work it into the existing part of the suite





9. you can also add some gs on the scope.





Here you go. Have fun
My first finished scout


Thanks for watching
(Yeah, my first tutorial )

Oh neat

I should probably try that on some of my "Melted" Models :/

Really impressive mate , and pretty simple to boot !

Defo gonna be doing this one myself , cheers!

Hope it's not considered necro but this is a really simple and easy way to make awesome miniatures.

To note the first scout looks great, the intentions of the suit are to break up the silhouette of the man, thus the head should blend in with the shoulders well. Excellant figures! I'd lose them on the table! It's happened to me before, lost them forever too. Dang sneakie scouts.

this is an awesome tutorial I will give this a shot!

Amazing result with not much effort, very nice tutorial!
