Finland Finland Finland....

I picked up 18feet of 18mm tall railway fencing in the second hand bin for £2.  
It's post and rail - would that be appropriate for Finland?  I've seen some in pictures but it doesn't look common.
I neglected to take a pic but it's like this:

Good enough for wargaming, I'm sure. Even if not 100% accurate, especially for a countryside setting. But since you will be splashing it with snow effects, it will be fine.

[Rich H]

Ta!
I'll look at basing it up see what it looks like.

Yep I agree, that type of fence is not common at all, especially in the rural areas of our Eastern borders. They used almost exlusively the type of fencing called 'Roundpole fence' in this Wikipedia article, especially in the country. I did a couple of lengths of such fence a while back but I haven't sorted out a pic hosting service yet, so I can't post pics right now.

But as Pocoloco said, with some snow on, those will do alright.

Quite common sight even today, that roundpole fencing, people have it at their summer cottages and home yards etc. Bit off-topic, but Verderer you could use postimage.org to host pics, even I got it running and seems to work fine... so far

I posted some pics using imgur in a thread of it's own, don't want to pollute Rich's thread with them?

[Rich H]

Thanks - I can make that....

I'll save the other fence for another project

I have a load of 3mm bamboo skewers, I'm debating whether they need splitting to make fences.  If I can split them into 4 I thnk that owuld look better but I suspect that might be hard work.  I'll have a go at making a jig.

So, I take it the thread title is a Monty Python reference?

Quite a long way from Cairo
lots of miles from Vietnam
