Title: New Scenery - MDF Fences, Craters and broken Walls!
Post by: Leon on 05 April 2017, 08:41:15 PM
We've also been working on a variety of new scenery items, so there's some nice additions in this lot.

First up we've got some MDF fencing, in both regular and snakerail versions.  We've been doing some tests with resin fencing for some time now but at this scale it can be quite fragile, so while we continue with that we thought we'd release some MDF ones as well.  These packs contain 10 lengths of fence, each 80mm long and 7/8mm high, with the regular fencing coming with an integral base included as well.  We've included a shot of some ACW figures with them to give an indication of size.

Next up is some more craters for the 20th C. crowd.  The smaller ones released last month have proved extremely popular, so we've added these larger sizes as well, ranging from 40mm-55mm in width.  There's a pic of them with a tank to give an indication of size.

And finally we've got some broken stone walls!  We've already added irregular versions of our hedges, so it made sense to add some broken/breached stone walls to the range as well.  As with the other walls/hedges packs, there are 4 sections per pack (2 of each type) with each section being 80mm long.

1) These look good
2) I didn't know that I needed them until I saw the pictures
3) My wallet is quivering
4) The crew of that British tank must be breathing a huge sigh of relief.

These scenic items look great and will add to the visual effects for my 1750-1925 games.

Excellent, the last 6 months has been a real shot in the arm terrain wise for 10mm.

They're good. Snake fences are very difficult to recreate in this scale but that is a very imaginative and quite effective solution. Having seen various examples of snake fences at various ACW and AWI historic sites, they're probably just a tad too long. However, a slice with the modelling knife here and there, these will provide a great basis for the purist to work with. Very tempted!  =D>

You're probably right there but better to be too long than too short!  We wanted to match them to the 80mm lengths of the other hedge/wall type products as well.

Do snake fences come with bases (for extra durability)?

They don't no, I'm afraid.  We did play about with some ideas, but as the fencing overlaps and folks might want them in different lengths there wasn't really a standard length base to put with them.  There's a variety of bases available to suit though, something like a 60x20mm or 80x20mm would do the trick.  We could also cut some zigzag ones as a custom job if people wanted them.
