Has anyone ever made a scaffold for their figures? I want to make one that looks like this: I'd like to try to make it out of metal but welding little pipes like that might be hard, maybe I should make it out of wood? I'd like it to be strong, so I don't have to worry about breaking it. Any ideas?

What is that stuff called? I've been seeing alot people use to for scaffolding lately. It seems to be the best but I've also read that it can be kinda weak.

This years carnage cup was pretty close, but that scaffold bump had the same risk as the zandig/mondo bump. Can't believe both of them got out of it without any serious injuries, I mean one layer of table breaks nothing from your fall that high...

They're anywhere between $4-$8 per set depending on if your TRU has them on sell or not. Takes about 3 sets to go across a JAKKS RSR, probably 4 for a Mattel ESR/ASR Its pretty sturdy but not perfect. I built mine 12 "layers" high..Played around and did a couple of suplexes on it and nothing fell off. Of course the longer you make it across the ring, the lest stability it will have cause there really is no center support.

we were close enough to that, that when they were climbing up the side and brawling, we genuinely feared for our lives if they had fallen, because they would've fallen onto us.

From watching the video and looking at pictures I estimated some measurements for one, I still think it's smaller than the KOTDM one but its in scale enough for my needs. I took the measurements and made a dummy model out of cardboard to double check the scale. Looks really good to me. I plan to weld a metal version up. Need to find some small tubing, I plan on spray painting it exactly as the KOTDM one.

Now thinking about it, I might want to make it higher. What does everyone else think?
THIS HIGH? OR THIS HIGH?

Oh my man is a welder. And made this over the weekend. He also made me a great comic book rack out of steel too. I haven't done anymore custom wrestling projects due to the backlash here lately but someday I will do it again.

What do you think about the height on mine?

Also CZW you could use skewers or dowels hot glued with a thin piece of wood as the top, painted silver?

With a tiny bit of modding, those would be perfect for an Ultimate X set. Oh my man is a welder. And made this over the weekend. He also made me a great comic book rack out of steel too.
