Barbed Wire Fence - Model Railroad - How-To

- Here is a short video on the process I use to create this small corrugated iron fence.
I use some foil to make the corrugated iron, for a detailed description of how I make the actual corrugated iron you can watch it here:
• Old Wooden Shed - How-...
For the barbed wire, I use very fine wire, 32 gauge and twist it using a drill. It’s not exactly barbed wire but it give the illusion of being barbed wire when view from a short distance on the layout.
It’s only a small detail for your model railroad layout but they look quite good when made in large numbers. It’s most suited to HO scale however it can be applied to many other scales and its not just limited to model train layouts, it’s also very usable for war gaming terrain and other military modelling or whatever.
Thanks for watching
Cheers
Luke.

A lot of things have changed since this video. Good job
I don't make railroad models, but I absolutely love your creativity and attention to detail. Great video as usual- you have an awesome channel.
thanks Luke, I'm still new to Model Rail and your videos are direct easy and to the point.
Art May Thanks for the great comment Art, I'm glad you are finding my videos helpful. I've got many more ideas just waiting to be uploaded to TH-cam.
Cheers, Luke.
Luke, thanks for the instructions. You have an awesome intro to your tutorials. Very talented.
Doug Whetstone Cheers Doug. Thanks for the great feed back. Cheers
Luke.
your videos are also very good for making war gaming scenery and dioramas.
cool, I mostly make them for model railroading but it's great to see they adapt well for all sorts of miniature model makers!
Cheers
Luke
You are a very talented scratch builder! Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

Miniscratcher No worries Steve, thanks for the awesome compliment!

Once again, a really great "ho to" video--you're a natural born teacher. Love the videos.
Very cost effective and realistic looking. Keep up the good work. I look forward to your next video
+James giordano Thanks James, it is certainly cost effective, just need a little patience to mate them. It's also tough to find good looking barbed wire but this effect seems to give a reasonable appearance.
Cheers
Luke
Love your videos. You have some very good methods for making real looking models.
Thanks a lot Phil, hopefully I don't run out of ideas :)
Cheers
Luke
Great idea as always!! Cheers John
John Dilley Thanks John, its funny, for every good idea that I make a video of I have about 10 other ideas that resulted in total failure! No pain no gain I guess!
Cheers, Luke.
Cool video Luke. You have some great ideas and modeling talent!
The intro to the video is cool. Great job on the fence. I was trying to figure out how to make barbed wire for a chain link fence. I think I will have to give your idea try. Thanks for sharing.

Scott Downey thanks Scott, yeah it pretty hard to get actual barbs in HO but from a distance the braided wire looks pretty convincing. The trick is to use the smallest possible wire you can, 32 gauge was the smallest I could find.
Thanks for the great comment Cheers,
Luke.
Very nice! I like it.
Goddammit. I've been building models and dioramas for years but I've been able to stay away from HO (which seems to be a black hole) but you make it look like so much fun that I'll have to build another room just for HO scale dioramas now. :)
ha ha, I'm impressed that you say 'Another Room'! How many rooms full of models do you have :) lol
Cheers
Luke
Good stuff. Nice idea, thanks for posting.
Rob McCrain Cheers Rob, glad you liked it.
Cheers, Luke.
I've got just the spot for a length of that fencing, Luke
You'll see the view count rise, I need showing A LOT before I commit but it's practically free (if Mrs Ed doesn't notice her stuff missing again) and looks impressive.
Thanks for sharing
Ed
Ed Shunt yeah no worries, watch as many times as you need. It's funny, I originally started these videos so I wouldn't forget how I did something. So I'm often watching my own videos to remind myself how I did whatever it was I was doing.
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you like the video, cheers,
Luke.
Superb video! I always wondered how one could make the barbed wire. Thank you sir! Happy railroading!!!!!!!!!!!
yeah it's a pretty simple technique. It doesn't look great when viewing from really close but from a foot back it looks good.
Cheers
Luke
Love your videos !!! Amazing... Entertaining.. Enlightening... Cheers !! : D
Nice job Luke, another great "how to". -Matt
SLO70 thanks Matt, glad you liked it. Cheers,
Luke.
Very Good Idea that looks easy and I will try it. Could also be done making chain link fence for your main fence. I have been looking for a double gate to an industry that can be opened and shut by remote to get trains into a secured area Great Idea Newman
Looks good.
Thanks for the video....never thought of making a fence with corrugated paneling and already watched your video on that. Checked out the company which makes the forms and ordering them in 1/72nd, 1/48th & 1/32nd scales. In all 3 scales, I use a mesh bag that vegetables come in, like onions. Pain in the behind to cut between the mesh strips from the bag, but then I have actual barbs on my barbed wire fencing. Next time I do this, will put 2 or more strips together using your drill idea, then run some thinned white glue on the twisted parts. This and a few more of your videos I've downloaded for future reference when building a diorama.
another great idea mate :) I've seen a few people try cutting fly screen mesh for barbed wire but like you said it's very fiddly and you have to be careful not to cut across the wire accidentally. That's something I might try in the near future as well. I like your idea of adding the two strands together with white glue.
Cheers
Luke
Great video ! thanks for sharing ! Martin.
Martin Bruggeman Thanks Martin, no worries.
I have lots of wire (jewelry wire) if you want to use them... and lots of string/rope/yarn. Your logo animation with the smoke and heat glow is really amazing! Must have taken the whole night to do that. (From a dramatic point of view...LOL!)
Anna Meresi Towan Don't worry, when the time comes I definitely be asking for some wire and thread! Thanks in advance... lol
Cool tips, thanks!!!
No worries mate :)
Great video mate.
+jjab99 Thanks again mate.
Cheers
Luke.
Luke, I just found your videos. You are incredibly talented! Thanks for sharing your skills with the rest of us. Have any of the American Modeling Magazines approached you for an article? If not, they should.
no they haven't :) Thanks for the great comment :)
nice How to vid.. thanks for sharing.. vinny
bnsf6951 Thanks Vinny, another tough build to replicate in N scale but if anyone was going to be able to do it... It would be you.
Cheers, Luke.
You could add a great effect if ulyou detached one of the corners and maybe the barbed wire then use it as like a broken down junk fence in the background, cheers,
Jake.
Hi Again Luke I like the barbed wired effect, in the movie industry they use clear bell wire with knotted bits attached, you could do similar as when you put it into the drill add some smaller pieces between the wires and then twist the wire. I haven't tried it yet!
Ernie Stammers That's a great idea Ernie, I thought about trying to model the individual barbs but I gave up because I'd have to do soooo many and it would take ages! But for small sections of fence or maybe for areas that will be close to the front of the layout where the viewer is close to the scenery then I'll give your method a try.Thanks for the great comment.
Cheers, Luke.
You have very good ideas, I sub you
Thanks again mate, and thanks for the sub :) I hope you continue to enjoy the videos.
Cheers
Luke
Can you make a mash up of this and the chain link fence?
What type of 3D printer did you use to make the gray rubber raft w/paddles and outboard motor?
Song at the beginning
Amazing job, but i have never seen a fence like that
Awesome! Simple, but looks realistic! Another great video from you! Awesome work!!!!!!
model railer Thanks John, you always have such positive comments, really appreciate it!
Cheers, Luke.
Luke Towan you do great work!!!!!!!!!
If I made this, I would probably put the barbs on your chain link fence you made in a previous video
yeah I tried to think of ways to add barbs but so far I haven't come up with any ideas that aren't too complicated... I'll keep brainstorming though 😊
what is the title of the backsound?
whats the name of the background music ,, prolly the most used royalty free song in TH-cam's history
lol it's hard to find good original music that hasn't been over used and that doesn't cost a fortune!
What ruler is that around 2:45? I love the conversion markings
I wish I knew, that ruler has traveled all over the country side with me! I can't remember where I bought it from... I vaguely remember getting a ruler from an art supply store but it may have been a different one.
Certain steel rules by Lufkin have those markings on the back for conversion, some however have a side dedicated to imperial and one to metric.
10 miniature criminals hate barbed wire fences and this video
Just climb over the roof! :P
I fear if I just skip to a different time in the video I'd miss out on important information.
Lord Jesus Christ has blessed you with craft skills. The barb wire: you could insert smaller wire bits every so many millimeters into the braided wire, as you braid it with the drill, to bring the barb wire into full appearance.
Thanks for the tip, I might look at ways to add the barbs... they would be very small but it would add an amazing level of realism for sure.
Thanks again :) Cheers
Luke

do you do double sided corrugated fence
+Alfie Bacon You can do it double sided but you'd need a special tool for making the corrugated iron. I demonstrate it here by making a shed. th-cam.com/video/d371ubNKwto/w-d-xo.html
Hope that helps.
Cheers
Luke

Well, since he didn't have the 5 billion dollars he wanted for it, do you think he'll watch this video ? =D
