My build will be inspired by this:



An open sewer section to become part of a post-apoc urban 'winter' board

That will be a very useful piece of terrain. Do you know where you can get 28mm sized shopping trolleys?, that would be great!

I was thinking initially of car body repair mesh but that's a diamond mesh so it would look wrong. I'll bet it's a difficult thing to make. Like you say, wire round a shaped block is probably the best idea. Having seen your WotR masterpiece this project will look great.

I am wondering if I can make one by wrapping wire around a block  :)
There is one in etched Brass. Can't find it at the moment though. Remember it for being very expensive, and that it was on the same homepage that did firestairs for buildings (H0?).

You might be able to get a shopping trolley from a dollshouse website thing.

I found this on US ebay:

 http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=160842241240

It's a Monopoly piece so may be too big.

I was trying to post a photo of a wheely bin earlier, hence the cock up with the image. What about a half sunken bin that could be used for cover? I've got some somewhere if you want one?

I'm guessing it's not problem if some of the water is iced over.... it's still water, right?  :) ;)

Yes, I think we have stressed that several times. Water in any form. Im fact we are hoping for people to make attempts at water in various forms and degree of agitation.

No worries. If you change your mind I've dug the bin out of the resin pile!

Zizi666; I can't seem to find the trolley on the Black Cat site. What category is it under?
