Bit of a lesson from scenery maker extraordinaire David Russell...
Undercoated base stands
Some attention to the height of the fixing posts is important to keep it all in scale with 20mm
Dave has all of the right tools, I tend to improvise a bit more on most things:)
Always looks better sanded - same if you're drilling into hills
Usually Dave would have his kids at different stages of the scenery factory, as you've all seen before
Ready for the wire
Different sized dowel will produce larger or smaller coils depending on what you're after
The brown stuff on the base is really strong builders contact glue, it's called liquid nails over here
Note the spacing
Flock for basing, Dave makes his stuff from really fine saw dust which has been coloured
For WW1 games you can never have enough of this stuff
Thanks Dave
OOOH! that looks fiddly but the end result is very effective.
