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.

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!
 
That won't survive the rain trhough.

if you use latex paint instead of starch it will hold up to the rain at least for a few years

it would.be slick though

im planing on using it on my crawler course in the creek area for the slikness and oddly enuff as siding for my hobby house dont ask lol

I saw that episode of the x-files where a serial killer made a cocoon from his own saliva and newspaper for hibernation.

Hopefully you live back east, because I don't...

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.
