Being supportive
Given that I have been poking away at Second World War and other 20th century unpleasantness of late, it was becoming apparent that I was sadly lacking in defences.
This is a Javis barbed wire support which I got from Andy Harfield of Harfields. I would probably run something up myself, but at a quid a throw for a solid resin piece, it seemed sensible to spend the money and save the time. The model itself is solid resin and extremely sturdy, I've dropped mine several times ferrying them out to the shed to get sprayed and haven't had any problems. These got a white spray undercoat with my house style Vallejo English Uniform on the ground.
The supports were painted grey and then the whole thing got a quick drybrush of "Constables Snow".
Garnish with a touch of Javis barbed wire et voila!
One section of barbed wire will do for two supports. If I was being realistic I would probably wash the wire with brown ink to give it a bit of rust, but they'll do for the time being and having knocked out a round dozen in two hours, I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself.
Nice, turned out well, and looks like good value for the money.

Very good, realistically gruesome! I agree a touch of brown ink here and there will make them look even better :-)
