Climby thing

[CrazyHedgehog]

This is Marwolaeth's fault, I saw what he was doing and wanted to have a play!!...
Its in progress so I'll let you know how I get on..

started with the polystyrene from cgristmas gifts and stuff

p2.jpg
I ripped it roughly into shapes,
its odd I didn't realize there are different polystyrene,
some is soft and bobbly, others is really compressed and quite hard.

tried plonking it together,
Its 3am here and in my impatients I have used pva glue,
A search on the internet said it will set, but not quickly,
well I am in no hurry..If it doesn't work I'll buy some instant contact and start again..

OK this is the final shape,
I used a ton of cocktail sticks to strengthen it,
its glued just need it to dry before coating and painting etc.
(its 2ft 4" wide and just under a foot high.)

Looks very good! I bet the snakes will use it quite a bit.

I do apologize.
If it's any conciliation.It look brilliant and your snakes are gonna love it!

OK, so the first one is not dry enough yet (impatiences of using PVA)
so tonight I have been experimenting with Evo stick solvent free contact glue and No more nails solvent free.
No more nails seemed to be drying quicker and holds better..
Not sure I like tonight's effort as much though, but I am hoping they will look better when coated etc..

A bit too uniform for my liking...

white bobbles everywhere!

I'm hopefully going to cover with quick drying filler, was thinking of adding sand at this stage to add a roughness, but still not sure.
See what they look like at that stage , if the sand is ok, then leave as, else paint them.

and then probably resin finish to ensure it is sealed properly.

That looks really awsome. Nice work.
