Ghillie suit

On one of the blogs I follow, Dei Greci the creative talent, Klaus has been working on an amazing scratch build project. He is at the point where he is populating it with troops and has achieved some truly inspiring things with the posing and construction of the guys. If you aren't following, you should be.
He’s kind of why I created this model, and post. I’ve seen one thing on the whole of his blog I thought I would do differently. A Ghillie suit. Now, don't get me wrong, Klaus is an absolute genius with this stuff and I’m sure that when he’s done his ghillie suit will look amazing, but the wip he posted looked a bit.. off to me. and started me thinking how I would approach it.
It’s a difficult thing, would I try to GS it? surely that would end up just looking a mess? the plasticard approach Klaus has taken, looked too rigid to me, so I thought about the way I do camo netting.
I set about building a model (and improvising a sniper rifle from bitz) then reached for my crepe bandage and glue.
Here’s the result -
 

I’m not saying this result is better, for one I haven't seen a finished version from Klaus, just WiP, but this is more how I would approach the problem, and it did strike me as a problem, hence my need to work through and find an answer for myself.
I’d love it if these blogs worked more like this, like a discussion between creatives, so I’m picking up on something from another blog, working through it and throwing it back out there, maybe someone else can take it up further, and before long we’ll have some real creative discussion going on on here :)
Anyway I’m going to throw this back at Klaus now and see what he thinks of my solution :)

Thanks for reading.
