In his article on making terrain for smaller toy soldiers, Mick Sayce has a section on making artillery redoubts. The first instruction is: Cut a piece of leftover ‘D' wood moulding down the middle so that the bevelled edge is on the outside of both pieces What is the best way of getting a good straight cut down the middle? |

Here's my answer – buy quarter round beading instead! Henry MWBG |

Yeah, a 6' or 8' length of quarter round is inexpensive and will make a lot of redoubts and trench sections. Jim |

Making a jig to cut D molding will probably cost more than the 1/4 round stock. |

You could always purchase 4 lengths of 1/16th-Round and bolt them together. |

Another method of making these redoubts is to cut wine bottle corks into quarters. |

Another method of making these redoubts is to cut wine bottle corks into quarters. Wine bottle corks are getting harder to come by these days. |

"Another method of making these redoubts is to cut wine bottle corks into quarters." Clearly I'll need to up my consumption then! |
