Cheers Pete! Went for the what have we got in the workshop kinda look for this one. ] tried the onion bag idea from jackwagon but I wasn't happy with how it was looking so tried using a garlic net instead- that was even worse- bloody stuff is elastic so wouldn't hold shape no matter what I tried. I put things aside to figure out a workaround and instead got on with tidying up some of my general household "rubbish" when I came across some auto repair mesh ( ?? aluminium?? - and that IS the correct spelling!!!!!) that I picked up in Halfords ( also supplied my wet'n'dry and plastic primer) and has, by eyeball at least, the correct scale size and holds shape. I'll try and post up some pictures of the stuff later - ttfn- food time! P

Ballast, pigments and wood bits from some coffee stirrers that had a run in with a candle have been added as debris. I used some auto-repair mesh and copper wire to create the remains of a chain-link type fence. The second figure is the youth/dicker from the Masterbox Iraq set. Still a bit more to do but getting close now.As always ACGW P

Thanks Andy. A bit more rubbish and a final hit with some pigments and then I think I'll call it a day with this one. P
