This is the method my buddies have used....How much do you want barbed wire????

I wonder if there is a commercial source out there?

As I recall, Art Curren did an MR article on modeling various types of fences not too many years ago, including modeling a barbed wire fence. Check to Magazine Index.

I'd find the finest thread/monofiliament line out there. You aren't going to see the barbs in HO anyway...

Its time to put a barbed wire fence around the hunting scene. Where do I get or how do I simulate barbed wire?
