for bipods use needles and pins...this can be done fairly easy... and if you use a blob of GS then it would probably be like childplay...also you could use the bipods of mortars for the job? did you try to make the stock out of plasticcard cut into basic shape first? this would have avoided the bumpy look of the current ones...but with paint everything could look different and more fitting... and if all else fails you can add some drilled holes in the stocks to make them look more techy...

good luck

Havent tried with plasticard, ordered some from wayland, but I dont expect to see it before next week at the earliest. And I was looking at an old WD magazine just now, and saw some snipers in there, none of which had bipods, so I'm not sure I'm gonna bother, at least not for them all. We'll see.

I guess it also depends if I can make them look nice enough.

well you could do sandbag bases when the sniper is lying down to shoot...

as for the plasticcard for those small items i would also reccomend using sprue parts or even leftover plastic you would normally see in the garbage can... most of our stuff is packed in heavy duty plastic...regardless of the former use... even yogurt cans could be used...if the plastic is too thin, then in layers...
