I just watched way too much TVLand and Nick at Nite as a child.

Very cool. It looks rather like a tree.

 

[Hughesie]

funny you say that... it's meant to be a tree
last year it was a forest of wood using rope and this year it's four peices of cloth

 

[bcfcst4]

haha well then it's a very fine tree. last time we did trees i wish they came out half as good.

Yeah It's great. Looks a hell of a lot like what we did a few years ago for "A Walk in The Woods". And we spent a fortune on that doing it the hard way.

 

[Hughesie]

what is "the hard way"

 

[Logos]

It involved chicken wire, papier mache, and camouflage nets. Oh and a small nervous breakdown from me.

 

[Hughesie]

wow ok

chicken wire and paper mache, have problems with the paper sticking to the wire?

 

[Logos]

Was that a question or a statement. Indeed we did have trouble with the paper sticking to the wire. It did happen though. You sort of make the first layer of paper so wet it acts like a thick paste and then build on top. It takes for ever and the nets cost a fortune and weren't flame proof. You'd think something the army uses in combat would be inherently flame resistent wouldn't you? Of course it probably is now. It wasn't then. And I know it was the real thing cos we borrowed it from the army. It cost a fortune cos we had to pay for it after we had to flame proof it.
