splitrail fence (1 Viewer)

[mr colt 45]

On one of my posts a reply came back about splitrail fence out of match sticks. Well I went to Michaels Craft Store and went to the section were the popsicle sticks are and found a package of 150 count match sticks. Well I am here to tell you that a little Elmers glue, these match sticks and some paint make a great 54mm splitrail fence for my ACW dioramas. Nice crafting.

Partner: I wish I could send pictures. I am new to the hobby of collecting and I do not have a camera that can set up for pictures. Take My word for it the fences look really great.:wink2::smile2:

Yes, I'm curious to see it, too. I hope you get camera capability soon. I would have thought that popsicle sticks would be a little too broad in width for a split rail fence in 54mm. They do make good floor boards, or wider clapboard siding.

Prost!

Ah, sorry, I thought you wrote that you used popsicle sticks. Yeah, I collect the spent sticks from kitchen matches, as I light my charcoal grill, or light candles, and save them for such projects.

Prost!

Mike , I saw some hobby sticks at Michael's . They measure 5 3/4 " X 1/4 "X 3/32".

Do you think these would work in 54 to 60 mm scale ?

Do you know the dimensions of the stir sticks ?

Thanks
Kirk

Kirk...I used "coffee stirrers" on all these models...I think their scale is much better than the popsicle stick or the tongue depressor stick...
