Fences - Because I did not feel like painting models!
Hi everyone,
So this week was a bit slow on the model painting scene. With work, life in general, and the stress of painting armies – the miniatures took a second seat this week.
Instead, I spent the week building terrain. These include fences, trees and hills all scaled down to 1/72 scale.
Today though I will focus on a type of fence, the one you usually find around houses or gardens. I am also building a second type of fence used mostly for livestock, but that I will leave for another post when I am ready.
The fences where all built from stirrers I bought for a few euros. These are the same I used to build the house in the previous post. I will detail the process in pictures below.
Cheap stirrers bought at a Two Euro shop. 
I cut up a bunch of them during one of my night shifts.
I attached several to a piece of masking type.
I then trimmed them down with blade and ruler and subsequently attached support beams.
Support beams glued on and piece was removed from masking tape.
The fence pieces were then based. I posed a 1/72 figure in there for scale purposes.
The last step is to paint them up. I opted for dry-brushing - quick and effective.
Steady, aim, fire!That is all for now. The next post will possibly be the trees. Whatever the case, I will make it a priority to start painting the miniatures again.
Until next time, stay safe and have fun.
