ill paint it in mild steel..then rust it up..with baking soda. and my real rust formula.. I think.. ill remake the barbed wire..it looks slightly out of scale..its possibly the thickness of the posts that make the wire look offscale..it looks good ..just a tad on the big side to my eyes..and if it dosent look right it probably isnt!! Ho Hum...so this time ill use four strands instead of six. to make the lengths and ill look for some thinner wire stock for the posts..at least I know what im doing this morning.....D.....

I know I may be dumb and missing something here but have you posted a picture of the barbed wire?

I can't see it anywhere and when I thought you were referring to it all I could see was a picture of the base.

Please put me out of my misery.

today..wed...i put together the barbed wire around the flak emplacement,
and then made the retainers for the far bank out of twisted copper wire.. i superglued this along the planking and drilled, a small hole either side of the wire..and made staples for these from lead wire.. these again were superglued in place, as you can see the barbedwire on this side is definatly out of scale, ill remake some more tommorow..and use thinner wire for the supports...










im not sure which vehicle ill use.. but i suppose its a moot point really!.
tommorow ill start to lay down the river bed..ill decide then when its time to bed the tracks in..then ill make a start on the tree.......D....

The pics in your last post shows, but most of the others are getting this message from photobucket.
