Alright, here we go. Sorry it took a while; I was at the dentists for an appointment. Here's what is in the box: Unfortunately, no actual wire. I Decided to see how easy it is to make my own though. Mini-SBS time . I started by folding a bit of wire in half, and then chucking it into a manual drill. I then used the drill to twist it while holding the other end with pliers. Once that was done, I opened up some holes, poked wire through & twisted it, and then closed the holes. I did it kinda sloppily as a proof-of-concept - it would be quite easy to do it well though. Pics: Hope this helps -Oliver

Great work on the barbed wire. I agree... I'd rather to make my own than buy one of those.

Yep, it's much easier than PE . It's quite quick too - only took me a few mins to whip that up. EDIT: You ninja'd me Gary . Glad you like it - I'll be using the technique myself soon.

I agree, barbed wire and its tripods are not so difficult to make and they surely look better scratched

Look what was waiting for me when I got back from my shopping trip with Mrs H Its been on back order for a while and I'd nearly forgotten about it! It will need the HB 2A5DK as the base kit , but I've also got the bronco workable tracks and also a model depot L55 replaqcement barrel. This is going to be very much a long term project so I'm afraid Nemo is going to have to wait -for quite a while P

Alright, my parents just got back from a mini-holiday in England, and, as well, as some chocolate ( ), they brought me these: It will be my 1st wingy, and i think that I'll just build it OOB and paint it to get a feel for them, no mods or anything EDIT: NO idea why the top pic is upside down, sorry .
