Title: How to do cheap pallisades for Indian village (even Maori one)
Post by: nervisfr on 29 April 2015, 09:01:58 AM

hugh,
i'm back with a new concept for terrain elements.  ;)

After my topic about the Canoes scratchbuiding topic (see here (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=75279.0))
i propose you to create some pallisades for an indian village made with ...........................Dog food !
These elements can be use too for Maori fort Pà .

Yes you read it well.

For more details of the use of these product go to my blog (http://chti-reanimator59.blogspot.fr/2015/04/le-re-animator-se-met-table.html). and use the translator button.

So we start with the material :

you have to be carefull with this material because the sticks can be very fragile. Then i add a paper-wire string (from flower hobby use as links)
i make it stronger with a coat of glue-varnish before painting the elements.

that's give at the final step :

thanks guys,

I keep my stock in a tupperwear style box in a dry local for at least 10 years.  :D
The smell disappear with the black undercoat sprayed upon the elements.   ;)

however, i don't know if this prevent a dog to detect the sticks and then attack the pallisades for his meal.. :P
My cat don't for the moment

 Cheers
Eric

Ha, ha! Genius...dog food!

Of course, if you're in the US, I highly recommend Acheson Creations. Very cheap and very sturdy!
