Oakmaster Custom Ghillies – Shaman
A look at the New Shaman ghillie concept from Oakmaster and Le Covert Sartorialist. A couple of months ago, Le Covert Sartorialist shared some details about his latest creations and asked if I wanted something sent out to test. No details, no explanation of it or how it works. “I want you to discover and…

The Legacy of Le Covert Sartorialist
The world of camouflage this week has been rocked by the news of the retirement of Le Covert Sartorialist, and for me, he’s led an absolute revolution in concealment these last few years. His work has been so far ahead of the rest and he changed the way so many of us thought about and…

Copying Haloscreen
A few days ago I had a message on an article by someone called Haloscreen is not what it seems, which is a very unusual name in any language but obviously not their real name (when posting up they did actually leave all their email and PC details on the reply but I’ll not cap…

Natural Veg in your Ghillie
“Veg is the Edge” you might hear in some forums. “The way to create a perfect ghillie is to add in natural vegetation from the area you’re in”. “Real plants obviously work much better than fake ones”. This is being written purely for Airsoft snipers. And I’m going to disagree with all of that, because…

How much 3D?
How much 3D should you add to your ghillie or camouflage suit? Is more, more effective? Or is less more? Recently there has been a noticeable shift towards lightly decorated suits, as the Russian factory made leaf suits have disappeared and many airsoft snipers are starting to wake up to the idea of adding Haloscreen…

Le Covert Sartorialist – How to make a Gen 4 Ghillie
It’s rare that I watch much airsoft on YouTube these days. Unfortunately, it’s just a sea of gameplay vids at the moment and honestly, as a player myself, seeing bb’s hit people is about as interesting as watching paint dry. But every now and then something crops up that I add to my little library…

How to cut and use Haloscreen
While having a ghillie crafting session this afternoon, a question popped up from one of the team about how I apply Haloscreen mesh to my kit. It’s dead easy, but worth a quick blog about as a guide. So, Haloscreen. The ultimate negative space 3D material. I really can’t recommend it enough, it’s light years…

Balancing macro and micro patterns on a ghillie suit
As sniper, shape and shape breakup are fundamental to the success of a ghillie suit and also the camouflaging of all kit and components. In previous blogs, I’ve talked about how micro patterns alone cause “blobbing” at ten metres plus, where the detail is too small for the eye to see and blends into one…

Planning for the Worst
Most airsoft snipers probably go to games with an idea in their head for how they’re going to play, the perfect shots they’re going to get, and having that ghillie working in ideal conditions so that nobody sees them. And they’ll probably film it to show everyone afterwards how great they are. However, games rarely…

The Ghillie Materials List
So, I’ve got quite a lot of blogs now about lots of different materials and bits and pieces. What I thought I’d do was put together a list rather than a blog of all the most useful ghillie materials I’ve seen and used, to make a shopping list for people to more easily navigate. I…
