Ironclad Miniatures in the UK makes some great barbed wire. You get a meter or two for a ridiculously low price. It's not actually in their catalog, but if you email them directly, they'll happily sell you some. I've bought numerous meters and some of their very nice camouflage netting. |

That's going to be mighty painful, if grasped incorrectly! The joys of 6mm gaming, fuse wire and a thin piece of doweling rod, can make miles of the stuff. |

I used thin brass wire I had on hand. Loop a long double strand on a nail or drawer pull and clamp the free ends in a drill. Twist it at low speed under tension. A two meter length will give you about a half meter which can be wrapped around a dowel or strung on uprights and weathered to suit. |
