WIRE FENCES

Slowly working thru "How to make different terrain pieces" here I tackle how to make wire fences.

Table set up a couple of weeks ago and played  Chain of Command ,

US vs German Grenadiers.

This table featured a large amount of wire fences.

German Infantry just jumped the wire fence to  venture beyond the orchard.

Completed wire fences.

Used 3 mm MDF.

Cut different lengths from 12 inches, 6 inches and 3 inches long by 3.5cm wide.

Tapered the edges along the length of the MDF with box cutters. 

Craft Wooden Sticks purchase from craft shop.

Used my hand motor(like a Dremel grinder) to roughen up the surface.

Cut into lengths of 2.5 cm.

Drilled holes in the MDF at 4 inches intervals.

Place PVA glue in the holes and positioned the posts.

Added a few rocks.

Primed both the top and underside with Rustoleum black primer.

Quick coat of some green khakis paint.

Painted the post a Beige colour and highlighted with some added Iraqui sand colour.

Thin wire was purchased from a craft store.

Secured 26 gauge wire from the post to form the wire fence.
No need to make the wire too tight.
 At this stage I was going to start painting the wire but I decided to add more rocks and tree stumps as the images shown below. 

I decided to add more stones and pieces of wood to add a bit more interest.

Painted the stones Desert Yellow and highlighted with later with a bit of Iraqui Sand.

Calvary Brown was used to add a rust effect on the wire.

The last stage is to flock the bases.
