Looks great! Though, I'm just curious, did you throw plastic on there and light it on fire?

Darn, so it's what he comes with then? I'm sorry I don't know figs very well... <.<
I've always wanted a ghillie suit... Seriously... But they're expensive as hell.

See what I mean...
So let me ask it then...
Did anywhere along the way, ANYTHING get lit on fire to produce this? Because if it did it had a cool effect. Unless it's some other figures clothing, like he's a cross-dressing sniper... Just kidding VMF.
My figures are guilty of cross-heading, cross-helmeting, cross-handing and cross-gunning...

The bbi sniper comes with the sniper ghillie suit it is made of soft plastic, I used just used paints, Sorry no fire was used or melting of plastic was used, I also used gun metal on the Barrett .
I based this ghillie suit off of the one my squad leader made him self when he was a sniper for the 82nd he had made several for different seasons and this one is for Fall/Germany/ western Europe. The gray underside is panted to look like gray canvas.

Haha, yes, I was talking about figs!
But I know real snipers make their own ghillies, but you can buy them. You can also buy kits to make them.
My co-worker said 5 years ago she got a ghillie suit for her son for 35 bucks, now I see 'em for 80-120... inflation!
