Suspended Bridge

[OSHIROmodels]

I tried, but the wool was too fragile. In fact the wool was not soaked but DROWNED to death in a very liquid paint. After a night of intensive care, drying on a radiator, the wool was like plastic sheets that can be fold. Impossible to guess the vegetal origins of the "Chose" (Thing). It was my first experience with that and I need maybe a lot more training. The result just greatly hurt my eyes.

Well, we all learn from our mistakes. Better luck with the next lot

Love the gecko - and it should be a target after all those damn commercials we have to keep enduring!

 A great idea and very well executed too.

 Have you thought about soaking the cotton wool in pva glue?Might be better and stronger too.

 Also go to say very good pictures.

Shame you are not happy with the cotton wool, but in the pictures you posted it looks pretty good to me.

An alternative might be the material that upholsters use to go around sponge cushions to give it a rounded look, if you google polyester wool wadding you should see the sort of stuff I'm talking about. I've never tried it but it probably keeps a more open structure when dyed with paint. I use it natural to simulate musket fire, always intended to dye it for better effect but too much else to do.

The bridge looks great, I never thought it would have the rigidity to span the gap.

along the same lines as vagabond:
seconded - i think it looks good already.  but since your asked about trying something else -  there's a green batting/stuffing sort of thing from woodland scenics you could just pull/stretch out and not even have to paint - link

Thank you all for your suggestions 

Finding modelling stuff isn't easy where I live, and the shop where I used to go has recently closed. I will try sponge cushion later, but for now I came across a roll of sisal rope. The fiber are long and strong enough and I glued some on the bridge. Just need to add more of them and then paint'em and add moss an "flower".

Best regards

Another idea for the green moss: polyfiber (link: http://www.amazon.de/Woodland-Scenics-95750-Noch-Fiber/dp/B0000WP8G4)
I use this to simulate moss, algae and other weird greenish creepers. Mix it in a container with some Noch Water Effects and some green turf. This gives a weird greenish mix. Then don some plastic gloves and place the moss where you want it to go. Here are three examples:





Main difference with these is that on the Kraken I applied more water effects and resin water to simulate wet, dripping algae/kelp.

A wonderful piece! I have no words for this... 

Thanks

Excellent piece of terrain.
