How to do cheap pallisades for Indian village (even Maori one)

[nervisfr]

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

After my topic about the Canoes scratchbuiding topic (see here)
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. 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 :



and a closer view :





enjoy

  That's a great idea.

Does the smell go when you paint them though 

I can't imagine they would last that long though

thanks guys,

I keep my stock in a tupperwear style box in a dry local for at least 10 years. 
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..
My cat don't for the moment

 Cheers
Eric

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