To begin you must have good rope. After some research  I'll find out that Sisal-rope works the best.
But sisal is yellow / white and a tree is dark green.
Fortunately, you can color sisal-rope with DYLON-fabric paint.

Because Sisal rope have two strand's, you have to get them apart.
For the rest just follow the instruction of the paint.
Let dry overnight.
And ready.

Preparing the Workbench

Attached the plank with the hook on the workbench.

Clamp a second hook in a screw machine.

Put two iron wires between the hooks.

Preparing the Rope

Cut the rope in smal pices (about 3 cm). Remember it is scale 1/160 that means that 1 cm is about 1.6 meter in real sice.

Put the pices of rope between the iron wires.

Round and Round

 Then comes the fun part.

Just put the screw machine ON and when the wire snaps, you ready.

 

Finish It All
