1/56 Scale Barbed Wire

Need some barbed wire cheap?

Get;
A pen
Some wire (hopefully lying around in your shed)
Match Sticks
Base material
Have some basic cutting tool ready

Do;
Wind wire around the pen then cut off a length and stretch it out
Glue wire to a strip of basing material, I used 1mm plastic/styrene
Glue some matchstick posts to base where they look appropriate
Paint/flock base
DONE!

The results..

  1. Excellent old school stuff! This old git remembers doing this in the 70's :)
    Yours is better as I did not base or add posts, just the wire.

    1. Cheers Ben, I too used rolled wire by itself in the 70s and 80s, I'm more sophisticated nowadays!
