Check out what this guy has done here: link Is that awesome or what? Could be useful for making a terrain piece for elves, ewoks, savages, gorilla-men, Swiss Family Robinson or who-knows-what, don't you think? Dan PS. The moment I saw it I realized that the tree portion could be simplified further, by simply buying and starting off with an aquarium ornamental resin tree, and then just concentrate on the platforms: picture link

Great model but would be better plastered with dead Ewoks.

That is impressive work!

That is very cool, thanks for sharing the link.

Ok that's pretty cool! Could make for a good Tarzan game. Or added to a "Lost Island" game too!

I meant "Lost World" had island on the brain for some reason all day today. LOL

I was thinking about doing the same sort of thing using the new G/W Citadel Woods Set … link For my 6mm Terrain. The huge trees in 6mm would kind of remind me of what I saw in AVATAR … And add some feral structures of some sorts … it could work …

Neat post, thanks. I really like his trick of gluing toothpicks onto a foam rubber strip to make flexible walls and railings. Someone commented on that site about the need for foliage for proper looks and the trouble that imposes for playability … I haven't done this myself but I think I've figured out the problem … basically make removable upward tree extensions with foliage that would look like short-trunked trees themselves. Stick on, it looks great. Need to place figures, remove the folliage. Voila!

Cool. Quite hot soon after the discovery of fire though.

Here's another one by Dalanshin. I believe he used an actual tree or bush for the framework. link Mark
