Wicker man - advice and inspiration sought

[FierceKitty]

Who has ideas about how to model a wicker man for a Celtic baggage train? I envision something about 2"-3" high, with enough open structure to show that it's hollow, and possibly tenanted. Christopher Lee and Britt Eckland are not required.

Crooked Dice have a nice one, and a lot of fun characters in their Children of the Fields cast:

I would take an action figure and build a frame around it in sections with little bits of balsa wood or matchsticks and wood glue, then remove each section and reassemble it.

You could take this one step further and use fabric covered floral wire to weave into the larger "logs" together.  Painted up they will look like branches.

Obliged. Thank you, gentlemen.

It is time to keep your appointment with the Wicker Man (in a voice three octaves lower than my own). Not the Summerisle version, but how I imagine the ancient Celtic effigy; rather influenced by indigenous reed dance costumes from my country, and by my limited modelling skills. For use with the ancient Gaulish baggage train.

I bought one that size for 15mm figures from eBay UK.  It was 3 years ago, but I can't remember the vendor?  eBay doesn't go back that far with my purchases.  It was only on eBay in the UK.
