Thanx. Yeah i made sure to do all the plaster work before i slept because it was the majority of the work. While waiting for replies i noticed a down branch directly under my balcony so i ran down to snap a few sticks off. The gap is about 30" across, with a small give on each side. 6" long "logs" would be plenty wide for the SCX24. The tire from side to side is 2.5" so i can get away with 1" gaps between "logs."I'd go with the craft sticks, you can cut them to whatever width you prefer. You made pretty fast work of it!
My theory is to grab a knife and cut away as much of the knots and extea small stick points and see if i have enough to make at least 30 "planks". If i can, I'm going to give maybe an inch scrap on the first roped plank and wrap the rope around the end of the stick, gluing it down, and continuing for extra support so it looks close to a realistic rope bridge.
So, like an idiot i out my pocket knife in my lap and used some scissors on a stick. Needless to say i have a good little cut but nothing some gauze and scotch tape couldnt fix. Not sure if that shows me being a redneck, or my time in the US Army...but needless to say, I'm going to be a bit more careful now.
