Title: rope bridge
Post by: pistolpete on May 19, 2015, 03:19:15 AM

stealing borrowing inspiration from several others here, i finally got around to making a version of the rope bridge.  i made mine 8" so anyone crossing would not be able to make it across in a single move.  the only thing i'd change is to use a lighter wash so it's not quite so dark.  i also stacked and glued some craft foam blocks for some elevation.

the approach

almost the end

the next steps are to get to work on some cliffs.

A good plan.

Excellent execution.

Ought to be a good addition to any 'high-adventure'.

Thanks,
Sendak

That is fantastic! The texture on the foam blocks will take any weathering paint effects well.

Love the roped slats! (Now that is something I really wouldn't have the patience to do!) :-*

Makes me dizzy though thinking of crossing such a perilous item with no hand rails! (The Peril would be to Perilous!) :o

MalcyB -  I didn't do the rope slats - it is originally a picket fence from michael's craft store; i just cut to length and clipped the pointy ends, then wrapped the ends around a couple of nails in a wood block.  there's a lot more fencing left so i'm probably going to do some more.
