Wrought Iron Fencing - 1/56 scale

With my 1/56 village buildings all done and the roads/paving sorted I just need some suitable Victorian town like fencing which can also double as a cemetery fence for my Renedra tombstones. I looked at the various kits/sets of wrought iron fencing available in 1/56 and decided to go with an MDF set from a Polish seller on ebay. The posts are cut into 3mm MDF and the wrought iron sections into 1.5mm MDF. For $20 Aussie dollars including postage I got just under a metre of fencing with a nice gate section. There's a bit of assembly required for the posts and I used a bit of filler on the tops and sides of them to give a bit of texture and hide some of the bigger joints. Once they were done the fence sections fitted nicely into them. I think it's a bit fragile made up as I have in sections so I can change the layout but if glued all the way around to make a fixed structure it would be quite albeit I suspect hard to store!

Here's some pictures of the finished product with my Renedra tombstones but it can be reconfigured as required...

 


Next time will be a AAR of some FUBAR VSF action...WooHoo!

  2. Little Tinkle is coming on nicely. The perfect backdrop for some VSF Fubar action. Looking forward to your next AAR. Ive been a bit out of the scene lately with other comitments but I retake possession of the wargames room (The sleepout) which was recently vacated by eldest daughter so heaps of wargaming action shall ensue.

  3. Thanks Gentlemen!
    I'm looking at buying a second set to extend the length of fencing I have available...
