Odd request at this scale, as I'm sure i could get away with just using the Marine Corps sniper.. or at a push the Russian/Japanese one.. maybe not the Falklands one though..
But I'd like to have a British Sniper Team set.
The spotter could also double as a decent Forward Observer...

A soild request. No sure when the "Gillie suit" became issue, but the sniper, prone, bedecked in scrim would be a useful addition. FOO/spotter always useful.

For late WW2 Brits, don't forget Korean range in cammo suits, woollen caps etc.

Add me in for those. Sniper in ghille suit would be good for the Falklands war as well.

Or ... just buy a 10mm haystack and drill an appropriate hole & stick in a length of wire or pin as the barrel poking out  

I love that idea Mark !

Not many haystaks in a winter in Belguim, or half way up an alp in Italy.....

you are such a spoilsport Ian

I have also done similar (for my 15mm Finns) in snow terrain with a length of wooden dowel, covered by a small piece of cloth (or thick tissue paper) with a pin sticking out of the open end and the whole lot covered in snow 'scatter' and painted white. I paint the whole unit 1st with a light blue-grey, then heavy drybrush of white, then the snow scatter is glued on. I paint the end of the dowel where the the rifle is a very dark brown 1st. Quick and easy (for snow terrain anyway).

Well I keep telling you I have no sense of humour 

Is the next suggestion going to be to have an empty base with just static grass and say they are camoflaged?

This. This is the correct way to model a sniper team.

Or a pile of rubble for an urban setting

Both would get my vote and now I've got an idea for the next painting competition .

There is a decent sniper in the Argentine Falklands range.

Be the wrong weapon for WWII British Will.

Do you mean a sniper like this one?
