I'm starting a Kroot Jungle Barricade. Not completed, but this is a couple hours of work. I'm going to be adding a 3rd tree inside the barricade, larger and taller, with canopy leaves on all three trees, and vines in between them. I'll probably add some floral and bushes as well.

All I'm seeing is:

It looks like a decent piece of scenery, but it just looks like a picket fence with some trees on it to me.

Neat...can't wait to see more.

Are there going to be some kroot "bits" hanging off it?

thanks for the post

I laughed out loud when I seen your comment..

Awesome popsicle stick terrain, and looks like your getting your popsicle stick the tasty way.

A smaller version might make an easy and cheap counts-as Aegis Defence Line? Would need several layers of "planks" to justify the armour protection, but that's hardly difficult.

I could see parts of the fence being covered in moss or some kind of flora build-up. You got something going here, keep it up! Looking forward to the completed pics!

all i can say is Hidey-ho Neighbor

Interesting take on the jungle trees, using jute twine. The proportions look off to me, though. The two pictured actually seem to narrow towards the bottom. I'd consider extending the base, slightly, and really building up the bases of the trunks. Your twine tendrils could work nicely for one of those jungle trees that seem to stand on their roots - you just need to keep it dense, so as to give the lower potion the proper visual weight.

Also, what's the scale of this thing? It looks rather tall, to me, compared to its length and width. Does it have an internal catwalk with stair/ladder access, or something?

lookin good Paul!

I would suggest throw some dark greens on a sponge and lightly camo the fence a little bit more! the Kroot are some sneaky SOB's

Where did you get the leaves for your trees? I've been trying for ages to make good trees but got nowhere near your quality.

IIRC those are from the floral department of Michael's. or something to that effect (Hobby Lobby to name one)

Even one better. Dollar Tree. Cut up 1 arrangement. The tree trunks are twine twisted together with white glue and some super glue.
