Thanks for the quick replies guys. I have been looking at my mock up
and noticed that the foot bulge is going to be a problem. I didn't
want to beef up my upper body too much if at all, but I think I am
going to have to add something to the legs to hide my feet in the
stilts. I had thought of wrapping the stilts and my feet in a campers
sleep mat (1/2 inch closed cell foam)to hide them. I am just planning
ahead right now as I am still waiting for my netting/mesh to get here.
How many hours roughly did the hand tie method take you guys? I am
going to be on vacation from work for 4 weeks and was hoping to tackle
that task during the day while the house is quiet.

main reason I use on is because I use stilts the legs had to be made
quite chunky to disguise them which in turn meant building up my upper
body to stay in proportion. Hope that makes sense.
