Do you use twine for your miniature wargaming hobby?

advocate23 Sep 2024 2:40 p.m. PST

No. How would you use it?

Only when I'm trying to keep it together! ;)

Twine makes a nice surrogate for 28mm scaled moorling lines and other such.

I also use it as … twine. It holds mdf buildings together whilte glue dries.

Rarely if I need some "rope" or something similar.

Never tried, but it might make for interesting tree roots or rough ground (felled, thin tree trunks).

Once in a great while to hold things together while the glue dries.

I've used much thinner hemp cord for rigging my 28 mm ships.

The old WRG ancient rules used twine or string to define open areas where no terrain feature can be placed. Removed before the start of the game.
I also use twine on some models (howdahs on elephants) and buildings.

Back when I used to bale hay I did. Not for wargaming.

BVTraders Sponsoring Member of TMP24 Sep 2024 12:15 p.m. PST

Yes to make trees

I use thin wire to add bow strings to 28mm bows, but no twine.

Oberlindes Sol LIC Supporting Member of TMP24 Sep 2024 11:32 p.m. PST

I once made vines from twine.
