I've made several sets of vinestakes for use in my Roman battles.

They took a while to do, but the components were very cheap- if you want to have a go there's a how-to on my blog, below. I've designed them to store away easily in a Really Useful Box.

That is very nice work, as always, Simon! How did you flock them?

Ingenious!

Those are fantastic no doubt before long your troops will be drinking to their merry content. Bacchus would be proud - great for 100 years war settings too, given the important presence of a vineyard in the battle of Poitiers.
-
Very well done.
Thanks for the how to.
Look forward to seeing them used in a game.
-
Excellent, a really simple but effective piece of terrain.
-
Those are AWESOME. And they'd be useable over a broad period of time, too.
Wanna sell a few sets?
-
Great stuff. Any chance of a shot with a figure next to them please?
-
Thanks all! I'll take some shots later on, when all 4 are ready.
They are flocked using Scattergrip, and torn-up clump foliage, which sticks to it really well. Very handy stuff for adding foliage to trees and laying static grass.
Alxbates, alas they take too long to make to be viable to sell at a sensible price. I did enjoy making them, though, have wanted a set for years. I need a nice rural farmhouse to go with them, perhaps a grape press. However, the next terrain will be a rural temple for the same scenario.
Ragnar, there are some minis next to an unfinished one. The gap between the stakes is big enough to take an element.

Cheers Bigredbat. That puts it into perspective.
Well thought out with the spacing BTW.

A very ingenious piece of terrain, Simon. Top job all around 8)
-
Very nicely done
-
I like them 8)
Of a useful size as well, not too small.
cheers

Great model, I might copy them. Any idea how long these were in use?
-
Thanks all. This type are still in use today, although less common than the low stake and wire type. My neighbour built an arrangement like this for his back garden! He wanted grapes and shade.
Cheers, Simon
