Wicked Woods Forest Entrance

[smasters]

Heres the start of my haunted woods entrance. Not done yet, or painted, but a good start.

This is only one side of it. As you can see I started with plywood and all burlap.

My buddy is 6ft2 standing next to it.

Like some input or honest criticism or give me ideas to add to it.

Thanks,
smasters

I like it. It really looks realistic. Anything underneath the burlap?

no , nothing under the burlap. its final coat is fiberglas resin so we have a hard shell.

thanks

How did you texture the burlap and get it to retain its shape? and here are link free pics.
It looks really great! Great job smasters

WOW! Nicely done smaster!

Very twisted yet very realistic looking at the same time.

It looks like it could have been formed by a hard wind continuously beating on it at the top of a bluff for many, many years.

The paint scheme you choose will REALLY make it come to life!

Looking forward to seeing those pics. Keep 'em coming!

Very nice,
thanks for the tip! Consider it hijacked. Im doing a forest theme this season so I will have my minions begin the burlap method.
Thanks for the timely tip, now that you mentioned it I can see the baloons inside the trunk.
Really nice.

No problem Alan, glad to help!

Wait a Minute????

I was asking for the help! what happened?

Was thinking of adding a few strings on the branches to look like tiny baby vines and maybe something mossy hanging off the branch ends. Not sure yet.

I would add a hangman. With harness and fake breakaway noose.
