Love it. Insta-gaming at it's best. The question then becomes do you have storage space for it?

So, what's this cheap/quick way to make razor wire? I know a couple of ways, just curious what yours is :)

I'd like to hear the razor wire "recipe" as well.

Kind of looks like aluminum window screen material.

I think I might have to pick up some of that corkboard this evening when i am at the craft shop.

The cork board ruins are pretty cool, and yes -- give us the razor wire "recipe," please.

Great inspiration for quick cheap terrain. Can we have the razor wire recipe please?

But what happens if you have no craft store near by? A thrift shop raid may uncover some cheap aquiruim plants and kid craft items (going by the thrift shops local to me). You might get some milliput if you are lucky. Ruins and buildings whould have to be cut up cardboard boxes as there seems to be little in way of cork board available.

Cork tiles have also been available in the dollar stores lately.

Dollar stores, drug stores, and Wal-Mart. And they all are much cheaper than buying the exact same materials at Michaels or Hobby Lobby.

I don't think the razor wire is window screen. The spacing is too wide. Maybe it's some silver garland or one of those boa things trimmed close to the string.

Ha. Now that's funny. Stumbled across one of my own articles without realizing it. Sorry I didn't see these questions & comments.

Gabriel Landowski I followed your link and explored you site a little and found you figure painting and work bench tutorial. Wow, it must be two years since I was talking to Jutso about painting soft plastic and I just now saw your site. Wish I found it back then.

I would like to show you some of my dollar store conversions and kitbash's some day.

Cheap terrain is always a bonus. That leaves more money for armies. Good terrain is more important than cheap, but the ground does not have to be expensive to be good. Styrofoam, litty litter, sand, white glue, cheapo plants from dollar stores are all good basis for terrain.
