I am in the process of making a compound for which I need security fencing and gates with barbed wire top, try as I may I cannot find anything on the net, this is needed for 4mm scale, probably concrete posts but I am open to suggestions. Can anyone point me in the right direction please.
I guess it would be similar to the sort of thing that would surround a military installation, as my compound is government property, it would definitely look right.
Thanks

The Games Workshop (and other wargaming manufacturers) sell razor wire but it is going to be grossly overscale.

I suspect almost anything you find is going to be overscale as the prototype is near invisible from a distance unless the light catches it. For coils of razor wire perhaps the finest electrical wire you can find and for mesh the finest sheer ladies tights.

The best bet would be OO Ratio RO436 Security Fencing, but Knightwing also offer a civilian type. Alternatively you may wish to investigate the Faller / Noch / Busch ranges from Germany who may do something similar in HO.
Thank you to both replies, the more I look I think the Ratio stuff will do the job, it will look right, as mentioned anything you look at is slightly oversize but then I think a compromise has to be made.
Checked all the German sites and they do nothing that looks the part for an English scene, all I need now is someone who has stocks of the Ratio kit and that their website actaully works as it should, not a tall order you would think, I didn't think so until I started looking. Good job we modellers can have the luxury of time on our hands.
Once again thanks for settimg me in the right direction.
