Project Last Days (24/4/25 The Compund, concertina wire!!)

[Legionnaire]

Made an attempt at modelling some concertina wire on the compensation walls. I'm glad I bought 20 metres (60ft) of the jewellery wire because I only got a little bit left over! 

It'll do.

Yeah - those thin, solid panels as fences just aren't really working for me - I can imagine solid concrete wall panels but they'd have to be thicker; I can imagine chain link/ metal mesh panels of that thickness but these as they are aren't what I'd use. I found some very useful printed plastic fences (they look like metal mesh panels) on ebay that I'm going to base up and use as perimeter fencing for my post apoc games (once I've damaged a few of them).

Thank you very much sir! It's the Warlord Project Z model I bought off another club member for £35. Well worth the money and I now aim to finally finish off that helicopter model I have in a box.

As you implied, is it ever truly done? I was in a model train shop yesterday and saw they had a box of three Plasticville trailers on sale. I'm like, "I don't have any Plasticville trailers. And these would look different than my other ones..."

So, I bought them!

Exactly Mike! I'm very happy I managed to finish the bits I had planned ahead of time. But just as I sat back and relaxed, a fellow club member said: "I have these bits that would do you very well for that zombie apocalypse project. The value is about £80 but I'll let you have it for £35" how could I turn down that offer  !

With the helipad done I now have an incentive to finally finish that helicopter model I have in a box, the crew will probably, if painted up, just be used as casualties...

Are those panels solid?

In my set (Sarissa branded) the panels are folded over grey board (so double thickness).

Looking at your blog, it looks like my set is the same. I bought it from a club member who had assembled it but I put some paint jn it and added my first ever attempt at making some concertina wire.

The concertina wire looks good, I was more replying to Rick about the thickness of the panels.

I assume the concrete panels are not fortress grade, but just a couple of inches thick so about a millimeter at this scale.
