I had a go at making a wire mesh fence (as shown in the GW terrain book). All in all its fairly straightforward to do - but its the first time i've had a go at terrain. I've put some step by step photos in my blog in case anyone else fancies having a go..... http://simonspaintingblogandstuff.blogspot.com/

For somebody's first time at making terrain it's quite remarkable!

Keep it up! Nice tutorial and nice blog!

Im more interested in the daleks.
Where did you get them from?

Looks good, but I need my sifter. Anyone know of other places to get cheap mesh like that?

**CommissarCandlestick**

I like it; and the Daleks too; I seem to recall having seen some of them in the gallery at Warhammer World.

Or even cheaper, goto the dollar store and have a look around the kitchen isle. I loot all kinds of stuff from dollar stores. The stuff is weird as hell (being made in china) and best of all, its a buck.

Indeed this is a good tip. Also, 'little-girl' jewellery shops are a good source of cheap gems and chains. Although you can get some odd looks from other people as a burly big-ass bloke lingers around such a store.

Nice tut dude

cool tutorial man

You can also use curtain netting/fly screening - stretch it out over a frame and "paint" it with PVA to stiffen it, let it dry, paint it silver and then cut it to shape.

**tallmantim**

You can also get firm aluminium flyscreen netting - about $10 a metre - so you only need a tiny amount. Available from hardware stores.

I've been looking for this for a long time now. Thank you!

They appear to be the Black Tree Designs Daleks, available here

Additionally, Doctor Who Magazine (in the UK) put out a set of 5-6 plastic "New Model" Daleks in one of their issues. I have them and they rock.

neat

**MaximusPrime**

Love those daleks!

Oh! and the tutorial!

**Zalmout**

Can't wait to put this into use! Daleks are a nice addition as well.

Since there's no actual tutorial here, and the blog link is just a general front-page link rather than directly to anything related, I'm shifting this to the regular P&M board.
