rope runner Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Hi All, Can anyone advise the most suitable 4mm scale product which is the nearest match for the type of wire fencing on this photograph please? I'm looking at the ratio range at the moment, though I'm open to other brands/considerations. Ideally I'd rather not have to solder anything, though it's not outside the realms of possibility. Many thanks Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crompton 33 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I used Ratio concrete fence post's 419 . With 5 AMP fuse wire painted rust colour. In this photo you can just about see it at the bottom. IMGP0371 by ALF WESTLEY, on Flickr 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rope runner Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 Thanks Cropton. I'm thinking they will be suitable but I may omit the wire entirely. It is barely discernible at 25 yards, so on a model I'm worried that it may look overscale at the rear of the layout. Paul A 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoker Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 That looks like fairly standard 4"x4" post fencing with livestock mesh and a single wire (probably barbed) at the top. You'd be best off scratch building that with 1.3mm square rod styrene, and some of this: https://www.themeshcompany.com/products/-12-Mesh---1.757mm-Aperture---0.36mm-Wire-Diameter---Mild-Steel-Plain-Steel---Woven-Wire-Mesh-140.html Insert the posts into your landscape, then glue strips of mesh to the posts using superglue, and finally glue your top wire to the posts.
