Does anyone out there know of a good way of creating the so-called "Ghillie Suit" worn by snipers in 1/35 scale? For further info, this is a suit covered in thousands of burlap strips, used to blend into foliage and low scrub.

I am currently building a diorama of modern infantry on manuevers, and I want to include one or two figures moving onto "high ground", whilst infantry deploy from an APC, receiving fire support from some armored units. I was considering using a DML figure as a base for the sniper figure, and any hints on adding the camouflage material, and in what pattern, location, etc would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Lachlan
