Ok, I need lots of cheap flok, 40mm frences, and something to make rouad of.

To make road I was thinknig of putting some scenic cement on my terrain cloth, with green in the middel and on the side, while brown in the tracks, that way I can make the road just the right size.

For roads, some people seem to get good results by using decorators caulk (brown) spread onto a material strip. Track marks can be scratched into the caulk before it dries.

Rememeber in the AWI to leave the center green stripe out of your roads, as that is where many single harnessed horses pulling carts, wagons, etc would walk.

Thanks for the tip about not doing the stripe in the middel of the road.

But nobody knows were to get 40mm fences and or stone walls?

Sash and Saber do stone and wooden rail fences in 40mm, but if you aren't in the states your best option would probably be to make them.

Thanks, they should have made it's own section for senics and terrein stuff at S&S

I'm going to order figs from there anyway, so I might as well order some fences from there to

Lemex fences (worm split rail) are available at All the King's Men Toy Soldiers. You can see them here: link

For roads I have done both coffee grounds dried out and spread where the road should be. Also Wide masking tape sprayed with texture paint from any craft store. I prefer a mixture of sand and coffee groups other materials. At the end of the game I just vacuum it up before folding the maps.

Wouldn't 54mm be to big for 40mm?

Gunfreak,

At the risk of sounding self-serving, here's another link that shows our fences.

Against 40s, these would come to high-chest. Lemme know if I can help any further.

O-Scale model railroad items are a close match.
