A wargaming company called Games-Workshop sells metal barbed wire witch should fit the 1/35 scale.

Marty's method is simplicity in itself. Too easy (which is great) and allows for however much you need.

Thanks again Marty for this method! And thanks CR for bringing it back out of the archives.

Here's an alternate approach. I like it because...I have a lot of left over screening to get rid of :-) . Doesn't look bad, IMHO.

Definately! I tried it last night for sh*ts and giggles, and liked it so much, I'm redoing the barbed wire on a dio I've been working on, even though I just spent upwards of $8.00 for a pack of photo etched barbed wire. When you compare the two, there just isnt any comparison at all!

Not sure what MArty's technique is, but I simply put two strands of 20 gauge wire into my dremel tool, then turn it on slowly.... the wires wrap tightly, and withing minutes, I have several feet of razor wire. To make barb wire, I tie string and clip off the excess. Pretty simple.

And the Games Workshop wire is also a GREAT product for 1/48 to 1/32 scale barbed wire as well....
