Thin silver wire, like fuse wire, twisted round a nail for about an inch then glued onto a terrain base looked good for me. Dab some rust coloured paint for a used look. Can also mount, say, 3 rolls together, 2 on the bottom, 1 on top for a big pile. Hope this helps, B

@BattlerBritain, thanks for tip 😎 For 6mm scale, We do simple making of, but We did as you describe for bigger scale, 15mm and 28mm: Click here to see big trenches terrain We made years ago!

Barbed wire for 6mm can be made easily from plastic pot cleaners: Robert

Very good Robert! Thanks for the tip… too late for this time… but if We need more We will study that! 😎 Lovely figures! Baccus 6mm? What rule do you play with those engineers? 🙄

You're welcome. The figures are Baccus, yes. WW1 British Middle East and Australian Light Horse. We use Great War Spearhead II rules. One day we will put on a big game in the museum at Meaux. The grandchildren can visit Disney ;-) Robert
