We start with the fence itself, which in this case I am going to make from a miniature movement tray (about 5×10 cm, millimeter up/down). Also four slats cut to 3 cm, which will be the ones that support the front grille. I have given them that length to make sure later that a miniature with a 25 mm base can be placed on the fence. You have to cut four holes in the plastic tray, so that the slats are flush with the bottom of the fence (and this also makes it easier to glue them with a little putty).
The base is a rectangle of panel wide enough to give stability to the whole, which will have a little height. In this case it is 45 x 120 mm, but you can make it whatever size you want, obviously. The two wooden slats are 5 mm thick and 13 cm. in height. I glued them to the base using some blobs of two-component putty to keep them straight in place, at a distance of 5.5 cm. one from another (just by ojimeter, not by anything else).
The slats attached to the back of the fence. The exact height depends on you, I have been guided only by my eye and what seemed to me to be an indicated height for the fence, comparing it with a Punkapocalyptic miniature. I also added the reinforcement brackets to the sides of the fence, with other slightly thinner slats cut for this purpose.
Here you have the process so far, everything glued, glued, dry and already resistant to silly falls and knocks. With a sample BabosÃn to see the size.
Sand already glued to the base, with the first layer of color, and various pieces of metal lying on the floor. I added a steel plate resting on one of the posts to offer some element of cover to the miniatures, and for this fence to be useful scenery in the game as well as decorative. The ground mesh is also placed in front of the sign, as well as a couple of skulls from the remains drawer to give the obligatory badass-sinister touch: one stuck on a stick on top of the fence, the other hanging from a chain on the post on the right.
A last minute detail: to make the fence even more playable, I added a “rigged” ladder made with four sticks, so that it is clear that you can climb onto the mesh floor. Perfect to bet on a sniper who will kill the enemy. Two Moorish skewer sticks and a wooden strip cut into pieces (the more irregular the better), and that’s it.
And here is the final result, already painted. Vallejo metallics for the entire structure, with a good splash of brown, green and black Citadel inks, to glue everything. Sand, browns and hazelnut ink for the floor. Metallic blue for the steel plate, to make it a little different. The skulls and so on.
And the poster (taken from the Internet and printed on the home printer), a tribute to “Two Crude Dudes” for MegaDrive, a great post-apocalyptic game that came out in 1990 and whose protagonists are two gummed up thugs who distribute ostias left and right across the Páramo. Dirty with inks, with several areas torn off, and with the typical graffiti that any teenager with just enough neurons to get through the day could do on a poster like this.
And the back, too juicy to leave unpainted too. “Eat Shit and Die” is a phrase like any other, besides the name of the death-gothic-punk musical group that rocks the Páramo (you may have read it in some Puentechatarra Gazette). There is also the logo of the VÃboras Rojas band, of course, in addition to that of the “Dead Kennedys” in the upper right, a punk music group from the US from the late 70s and 80s.
And that’s it! With four sticks and a movement tray you can do this wonder 😀
