That looks great!! I'm curious as to what you used as the base. It looks like it might be sheet styrene that is tiled? Is that right??

OK the fence......went to Home Depot and purchased a 2'X3' acrylic florecent light cover panel. There were several designs and the one I selected had 1"X1" square design molded in. Using a bandsaw and a steel rule I carefully cut along the top of one row of squares and then made another cut approx 3/8" below the first cut. You now have a fence piece that is 24" long. The results came out looking like a chain link fence with post and top rail.The post and rail part was raised so I sanded it to remove the sheen and to get an opaque appearence. Then had to sand the corners off the top rail and it looked like a fence. Cutting acrylic is not fun nor is it very neat, but if you are careful it works out ok.

Sorry but i don't see the use of this website. No pictures, just some fantasy information. Is this from someone who is living in his dreamworld.

BTW, Steve your pictures are really great. I really love the diorama's you make. I wish I had the time and skills to make diorama's like that. Please post more pics, this is real hardcore!!!
