Miami River Layout

[fast car]

The greenry is Heki 1550 and 1600 that Kurt used on his 58th Street layout. He has a nice shot of it on page 13 of his 58th Street posting.

Appreciate that. The fence is really looking great. Another question... what about the barbed wire running along the tops of the fences... how did you do that?

Gary,

That is .012 brass soldered to the carrier on the fence. I used three separate strands starting closest to the main post and then moving out to the end. The main fence posts are brass tube from Albion Alloys that I purchased through Sprue Brothers and are set between nine and ten scale feet. I constructed a template and then had a several copies printed off at the local copy shop. I usually ruin one everytime I make a large fence section. Once again, I believe the idea originated with with Kurt.

I can get you the part if you like when I get home. K&S Metals do not have tube with a small enough I.D. to make it look scale appropriate. Albion Alloys is made in the UK.
