| Wife is still ticked off about the mess I'm making. This is part one of the mock up. After I build some tall obstacles everything will be sealed and painted to look fairly realistic. I even have some little trees and bushes. |

I've been working on the course some more lately and this is where I am. It still has a long way to go before it looks like a landscape, but I'm having fun trying different things. So far, I've used sheet Styrofoam, Styrofoam blocks (went dumpster diving ), wire screen and paper mache. In the middle there will be a stream with clear polyurethane and several bridges and rock crossings using small 'logs' and real rocks. |

After starting the framework for another ridgeline at the far end of the course, I used a can of expanding foam in several places, which I will paint later with brush and acrylic paints. I also sprayed stone fleck paint on some of the larger 'rock' sections to see how the texture will look. Some of the paper mache folds will probably show, but I can glue in some 'shrubs' to cover any bad areas. I put a single tree in just because I couldn't wait. Coffee grounds (unused) were put down for soil after covering those areas with a water/glue mixture. The excess will be swept off when the glue is dry. Some other areas will get real sand applied in the same way. Once everything is done, I will pour the clear polymer in the creek bed and place small pebbles before it dries. Hopefully, I will be able to stand the whole thing against the wall when it is completed. The log bridge will attach here: Last edited by Alpha Male; 12-08-2009 at 06:08 PM. Reason: spelling error |

The tree came from the train section of a local hobby shop. Since there was so much green material on the branches, I thinned them a bit and will use the trimmings for shrubs/bushes. | |

Here's my little indoor crawling course, of course being down here in houston are winters aren't as harsh and don't last more than 30 days so not much reason to go to crazy with an indoor course. but it is nice on the rainey days. |
