Darren B Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) I thought I would share this with everyone, I am working on the freaky tiki build and wanted to model bamboo for the doors and bed but not sure how to go about it. I bought a tubing cutter and using files took the cutting edge off of it, and proceeded to use it to make the knuckle on a bamboo skewer then using a sanding stick reduce the size of the stick between the knuckles to look like bamboo, this first attempt is fine but needing to go about 50% smaller for the doors.,.

Erik Smith Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Cool idea so far. For the rack on this wagon: I just used round styrene. I rolled a blade on the rod at each node, then painted a base color, highlight color, then a wash on the node. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What color/Brand of paint did you use for the color of the bamboo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
