- In this video, we'll take a look at a quick & easy method for scratch-building your own barbed wire beach obstacles for scale model & miniature dioramas! Whether you're building up a D-Day Diorama or creating a bit of terrain for war gaming minis, this video is for you. With just a few supplies you can pick up from your local hardware store or order online, you'll have yourself some realistic 1/35-scale barbed wire in no time at all.

I use a power drill or rotary tool to wind the main core. Put the looped end in the drill chuck and hold the other end with some pliers. Fast and neat.
The technique is great, but important to use wire that is to scale. What you have looks great... for larger scales....
That looks great. Off and on, since I started building 1/35 scale tanks, vehicles and figures I've created good looking barbed wire. You're demonstration is so simple. I love it.
Thank you Hank
Wow nice simple and cheap way to make barbed wire. Might try that for my WWI trench diorama I did. Good stuff!
Nice tutorial, well explained….😊👍
It looks great, I've built barbed wire like that a few times. If I can offer a tip to make it go a little faster, try using a small hand cranked drill to twist the wire. Works well for making tow cables also.
Excellent technique!
NICE technique!
Great job.
I have to try that.
Good idea, Hank.Keep up the good work
Dude, your videos are awesome and really help my model game. Thank you!!
Very nice Hank! Thanks
Wow! incredible! How in the heck did you ever come up with this technique Hank?! :)
Espetacular o resultado, Hank😁👏
Looking good
either use 0.2m and 0.3m wire to match the scale
Wow. Super cool!
Outstanding
Cool tutorial.👍
I like lil tommy in his hands)
Looking cute and brutal)
I will use this! Thanks!
Practice practice practice…….
YOU CAN DO IT 💪🏻
Hi Hank, another great video, but I have to agree with Karsten. The wire is far too large for 1/35. I’m guessing you are not farming related who has to deal with barbed wire on a regular basis. Maybe 1/16. In real life barbed wire is in around the 12 gage electrical wire size, I think…
Looks really good 👍 but the wire does look a little over scale.
Hello, I’m new at scale modelling so just a question is there any models that don’t need painting as I don’t have a safe space to paint them? Thank you I’ve been enjoying you channel a lot and will buy my first model to build! thank you
The terrain tutor did this years ago.
Nice job just not to 1/35 scale looks more 1/16
"Common" barbed wire core is 12.5 gauge (0.099" = 2.5mm) with barbs of 14 gauge (0.064" = 1.63mm). .58MM X 35 = 20.5MM for one strand of the core. .58MM X 6 (Original GI Joe scale) =0.097". For 1/35th scale, something more like 40 or 41 gauge wire seems more suitable for the core wire; with 44 gauge for the barbs. Maybe the Germans were making their barbed wire really really really heavy? Great demonstration of a process, though. Maybe a few too many brews? ;)
It looks great. What happened to the Sherman series ?
It’ll return! Breaking it up into a few segments 👍
Clicked on this the minute I saw I owned the materials - I just have to dig them up 😂
I recently bought myself a stug 3 Finnish was wondering is it a good kit for a beginner
That’s a very user-friendly kit, for sure! Happy building 👍
@@SpruesNBrews have you build it?
Just a comment for the algorithm
About scale... Sometimes you need to exaggerate (static grass is not to scale, not even correct in shape nor form, paper leafs - too thick...). I think this is a good example. You know there should be some visible elements (the pointy twisty things around the twisted wire), and this technique puts them there. Of course you could do this better and more to scale but I think this was good enough. Actually a bit better than good enough. Doing it "in scale" might be too obscure to even notice and just not worth it. Just my cents. Hank has my approval.
I'm also thinking about some rivets and screw heads on some models - you know they should be there but in a scale model you would need a magnifier to see them. .
BTW, In a diorama I hope you have something more interesting to look at than the scale of the barbed wire. In my my opinion, if barbed wire is there, and looks "about right" that's good enough. Get things done.
Do you have a FB page?
Nice technique but way out of scale for 1/35. More like 1/16 and then I'd be a bit dubious. Don't forget that an obstacle in scale is exactly that. It's got to look like someone in that scale will struggle to get past it but mini-Tom Hanks can slip through that no problem.
"its in the manual....." probably next to the section on sticky bombs :)
I’ve used finer wire for this technique…
I also use Speaker Wire…
It has to LOOK to SCALE…
You can fine smaller gauge wire at HOBBY LOBBY, MICHAELS…
The kind they use for
Fake FLOWER and WREATH wall displays…
Speaker wire works great for
1/48 , 1/72 dioramas…
I also make SCREW PICKETS
( 4 hole kind )
Needle Nose Plyers are great for doing this also…
ITS GOTTA LOOK TO SCALE

or common electrical copper wire for 1/35 (hell of headache to work but the technique in the vid is great).
My cat is gay
That’s to BAD !!!!!!!
Funny 😄
