rope bridge
« on: May 19, 2015, 02:19:15 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


the beginning


the middle



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,

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.
