Cheers lads.

That's a no for the pics of the rock formations, there's plenty of near closeups in pretty much all the wasteland batreps I've done. Plus they're all close to 10 years old and pretty ratty.
For those who asked, they're just polystyrene carved into shape, layered with PVA glue and rocks/dirt, all based on cardboard.... gah cardboard... I know better know.

But as for the fences:

You can see with the last shot, the bottom right, how the fence pieces end. Each fence section plugs into the next, so there's a majority of standard ones, some "starters," and "ends."
You can also see with the bottom right one, with the tree, I've had to PVA the base to glue the loose branches on then sprinkled the basing dirt (easier to get coverage than trying to fit glue in after it's been "formed").

Nice work on the fencing Ross, is that wire running between the post or is it hardened glue soaked thread?

When you lay your ground cover onto the Popsicle sticks won't there be a curling of the wood, or do you have a technique to prevent that from occurring?

Thanks lads, yes it's wire for the fences. Probably wouldn't recommend it, I ended up tearing off a few of the fence posts by accident while setting those up, but they do suit the purpose by being firm enough to be used to be plugged into each other.

The bases are firm card, the type fitted into the back of picture frames. I've used this material for all my basing and have rarely found trouble with warping. The trick, such that it is, is to use as little glue as possible while getting as much coverage as possible.

This is now far on the backburner, it all needs to be put away as it's been gathering dust for too long.
Thanks for following :)
