    Scratch build chain link fence

    Thanks, it is nice to be able to save so much money on some details as this. Now I can spend the moeny on the other details like rail caps that will make this fence cost as much as the one from Walthers but have much more details. rbDHD

    Scratch build chain link fence

    I'm sure it's not a real fence cause I took the picture and built the fence, thanks! cpNscale - the fence I made was HO scale and it's made from some material I found at Micael's arts & crafts store in the wedding area. It's called Tulle (sp). Dave
