  • Wicked Woods Forest Entrance

    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.

                      I think it needs moss and an Owl. Or perhaps a grouping of vultures nice styleized vultures almost disneyesque.

                          Normally I do not post, But holy shit man this is great...... This is some great stuff I am very happy people with this kind of knowledge are willing to share and not keep their secrets. Thanks for helping benefit this industry. You deserve some props... I have a question though, Did you come up with this idea yourself or stumble across it....? Or is this an altered version?

                            I have to concur the tree looks amazing you will need to do a post about that burlap technique. as for adding to the tree depends on your location and the illusion you are trying to go for. I can say the usual spider webs hanging moss. but really any addition to the tree would depend on the region your trying to imitate. a Skeleton vulture would look great in the tree or any bird of prey or well known scavanger bird would be good in one of the trees.

                              Really nice.



                              So is it balloons? Share with the group! Im assuming the description of the method was in a PM?

                              This does look really good!
