How do you make the support wire that is used when making concrete builings. i want to have a hole in a bunker for the upcoming trench campaign and i can't think of how to resemble one. should i just use regular wire? any tips will be greatly appreciated..

i'm so anxious to get started on this campaign.... patience patience

If it the wire that is visible after shuttered concrete is blown up .......... just cast your concrete and cut away where the hole is needed. To simulate the wire ... drill small holes and insert wire lengths and bend up. Paint very rusty and brush on some grey pastels.
Hopefully this is what you are asking???

Plastic is right on. Cut up a couple of paper clips, bend them up, and insert them into holes you drilled into the plaster. Plastic and I are assuming that you are talking about rerod or rebar, the stuff they put in concrete around to strengthen it. If you aren't let me (us) know.

Plastic that's exactly what i was looking for thanks i didn't know what the stuff was called. rebar now rings a bell. i just called it support wire.... amateur mistake

Dont worry about not knowing the actual term for these bars.... i didnt know either. Thanks keenan. You learn something new everyday!

Have to agree with the above posts - Paper clips would serve very well. Rebar has ridges to help hold the concrete. Paper clips also have texture to them too. You can get clips in different size and diameters, just experiment with them to see which one looks best.
As far as the whole how much rust do you add to metal - rebar isn't painted or treated so it would rust quickly and totally on all exposed areas.

i knew about the ridges and everyhing b/c i live in a new neighborhood and for the past year they have been building new houses and that rebar was all over the place and it was rusted like you just don't know.
