Fences - a slight distraction
While working on the barbed wire I came across a set of the old Airfix fences that were still flexible, so one I bought some more lolly stick for the next batch of barbed wire I decided to get them out of the way.
Originally they had small bases so they were self-standing (in theory). So I just drilled holes in the lolly sticks to take the lugs and added a touch of hot glue to secure them. Then it was nearly standard basing, except I was trying a new base paint colour as I can get any more of the colour I have been using. Since it's quite a close match I'll buy a large pot so I won't have the problem again for quite a while.

I have the very same fences, and did much the same for basing... reckon they must be over 40 years old now...
I really like the way these look. Very well done.
Great stuff will. Most impressive.
rank, the field are a a sort of astroturf provided by a friend at my club who had some spare offcuts Unlike most of this stuff its actually multi-coloured and didn't need any toning down.
Will - are you the chap the Too Fat Lardies mention in their interview in Battlegames this month... St Albans club...?? They had some nice things to say about you if it is! :o))
Steve, yes it's me and I'll be having a few words with Rich this weekend at Triples. I remember some of those games too well LOL.
