Neat. Do you know what type of wood that is? I like the look of that bark

That looks like pine to me.
its a thorn tree but they got great bark for 1:20.3
whats a good way to weather the boom???to give it the old untreaded look
I’m really partial to a mix of India Ink and Alcohol - gives it a nice grey look
Nice job, Scooby.
Interesting use of materials.

Cool idea–that will look great when it’s finished
