| Building my own Rock to Crawl at home.
Built up a general base to start with. 3ft high, 4ft wide and 6ft longish. 50lbs of Concrete for the first stage, It did not go as far has I thought it would. Building a climbing side and a trailing side. When I'm done, I'm hoping it will look like one Huge Rock. Still trying to plan ahead and not make it too easy. |

You can get free dirt quite often, why build on wood? Make piles of dirt, carce them into a rock shape, and put concrete on that. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk |

These are all concrete, I wattered down some house paint and sprayed them with a pump sprayer for color. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL...g1rMVTPkzlerwu Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk |

For something that small, I would make the whole thing out of paper mache and some if that sandstone in the rattle can. Light, cheap, mobile!

Good Idea. Now that I got the base going, Getting some dirt and rock will help give it a more natural shape. My room is limited. Thanks. | |
