Anyone interested in Ghille Suits for their Snipers? I have a few extra that I made to sell. I can post pics later, but I think I have five extra made. All the camo threads are hand knotted into the netting. This takes me about 1.5 hours to make a complete suit. Its a pretty tedious process, but it looks pretty killer on the figure.
If you look in the photo titled "Overwatch", you can see the difference in the original suit I made for my custom Marine Sniper on the left, and the newer suit on the right. I didnt seperate teh strands enough on the original one, which caused a thicker appearance. The new ones are all separated which would provide a more accurate appearance.

$15 Shipped for the suit.
I accept paypal. No worries on the paypal fee.

Paypal address: becky29andchris19@gmail.com

Pics posted at the link below. The resolution limits are higher there so you can see the images.

Thanks for steering me over here. Noted on Ewok and Eddie... I think I recall getting an invite here last year before deploying, but work-ups and everything else sidelined my customs..."everything thing" else now is me working on finishing my 69 Charger (General Lee!!). I'll get yours sent out Monday. Is your address visible on your paypal account?

anyway, love the suits...they look really freak'n cool...i've seen them utilized before but i'm not really edjucated on them...do they (in real life) come in multiple colors?...i wouldn't mind having a set of these in both tan and a drab green...

I am doing a full on restoration/conversion to a General Lee. I am working on getting the body lines straight with body filler, there is zero rust on the car. My engine combo will be a 400 big block stroked out to 471 CI putting out about 600 horsepower. I would have had it doen by now, but this last deployment took me away for an extended period of time and was somewhat unexpected.

Ghilles can some in different colors, it just depends on the environment used in. I thought about getting some tan and drab/green dyes to make a few variations in the suits.

Jim, I got your address from paypal.

If you make some mixed green with brown or tan, I will certainly buy one or two. I just don't have a use for the current color.

^^^ my sentiments exactly...i'd even be glad to put up a down payment

When you say "mixed", are you talking about one with brown, green, and tan in it? The strands come with some tan in it, but the brown I will have to dye. Its not impossible, but will take some work. What I could do to experiment is use the sharpie markers I have with brown and green to color the strands, then separate the tan strands and use them.

Mostly green like the moss in the background with some of the brown or tan tossed in. Not sure what color you consider the original ones, but it would work well with the green.

Ok, well not exactly new, but I dyed them all to better suit a wooded environment. Below are new pics of the results. Starting top left and going clockwise (Rit-Dye); Dark Green, Brown, Tropical Green, and original undyed.

I know someone asked for a desert version... I haven't made one yet, but I think I can get the color scheme with the original material and brown.

In order to get the "bushy" effect look, you can use a stiff bristle brush to comb out and mix the strands all together.

Currently I have 6 for up for sale. More to come...

Colors used in the suit.
