Any ideas on ghillie suit construction?

First of all, I'd like to say -- I'M BACK! I haven't logged on in months because I forgot the name of the website...

Now to get to the topic. I'd like some ideas on how to construct a low-budget (yet effective) ghillie suit for a sniper's role. I'm soon buying a Well L96 from my friend and I think I'm going to have that as my primary. I'd rather make a ghille suit instead of buying one because the pre-made ones have fixed camouflage instead of camo that I could change depending on the location of the game. Also I figured it would be more fun to make one =D. I'd like to spend less than 40 dollars on it and have it be moderately simple to construct.

Any ideas are helpful and will be considered =D

YOUR BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well 1 idea I have which is 50% effective to me, is to take a poncho (non tearing) and pierce 2 small holes close to each other(CLOSE!!!) then put a piece of string in the 2 then connect it into a cut of burlap. repeat

EDIT; OR sew it on

bdus, with net sewed to the back of the jacket and legs, and then tie cut burlap to it and weave veg through it, then sew more net as a hood and tie more burlap to that.

pretty much the same, better said tho

i'll try soon, thanks =]

mmmhhhmmmm thanks, that guys great

Be sure to tailor the design and color to fit your playing style and field.

Alright, I drew the design out and planned everything. Now all I need is money =P

same...... sad isn't it

Well 1 way i found to be cheap and efective is to get a poncho (brown or green), some netting, camo duct tape (brown or green will work), and then what ever matterial u want to look like (mine is pine straw)

1. tape matterial to the poncho in long horizontal strips about 1 inch apart down the back

2. tape matterial to arms in loose circles

3.tape matterial to head in horizantal strips

4.cover the poncho with the netting

this is a cheap alternative and honestly it works better

Great idea. Sounds like an effective jury rigged ghillie.
When you said 'poncho', did you mean the synthetic military-issue ones?
Couldnt help getting a mental picture of one of these guys covered in leaves and nets:


Congrats on your first post and welcome to Airsoft Allies!

it doesnt need to be, a durable rain poncho works just fine as long as u make sure it doesnt make any noise when u move
