USMC Sniper, 1990

Model by Christian Donolato

      

This is my attempt to depict an US Marine in his typical "ghillie suit" during a training session: the scene was meant to be entitled "The Art Of Sniping", given the particular camouflage skill proper to the USMC snipers that makes them invisible to the enemy. The figure is in 1:35th scale, coming from Dragon's "US sniper team" (a bit old, isn't it?), and its three tone camo scheme was done by acrylics; the "ghillie suit" and all the rest of the vegetation have been made with natural moss completed with various green tones by airbrush.

Comments are welcome, this is one of my first attempts on a single figure!
