How would I go about making the Barbed wire, and the posts that they are attached to?

Thanks!

What scale are you building? I know that Rocco makes wire for 1/85.

There are a couple of ways.
One way is to use household screening material from a DIY store. The plastic grid kind. You take a piece as long as you want the wire and them cut the perpendicular pieces off to leave you with a piece something like this

There are other ways to take fine wire and twist each barb.

The posts could be yogurt tops folded for thickness and bent to shape. Burnish out any texture for a smooth finish.

I want it to be 1/48 scale. It would be a German Stalag Luft.

I'd use fine mouse wire or insullation wire from a COAX TV cable

Hello!

There was an article about that before...it's somewhere in this site...

It's something like using a fine wire, then entwining it, then adding those spikes by entwining another piece of wire...(I'm not making any sense...)

But I swear....I read it here in this site..It's somewhere around here...

You could try searching for it....

Good Luck !

Hope this helps!

Thanks for hearing me out!

I've got it!

Here it is!

It's an article here..I really found it very very useful!

Good Luck!

Don't you hate it when you read someone's question, and you know just the article they need; but have no idea where you saw it? I hate when that happens.
