    RevnJeff-

    I was just going to inquire about that fencing. I see someone already has.

    My compliments! It's a really nice looking detail. Shows up great!

    :cool:

    Exceptional! In the past I have used screen wire cut to fit, mashed sideways and tied into straight pin "poles"...your way is cleaner and better looking!!

    Something that I didn't add in my post on the fencing...

    I leave the posts long, so as to plant them in my foam base. (Another reason why foam is better than plywood)

    Also, I use a hot soldering pencil to melt the veil material away. You can't trim it really close, but the solder pencil melts right to the edge. You need to wipe the debris off the pencil as you go, and don't breathe the fumes, but hey, I've been doing this for a while now, and I haven't had any side effects. I'm a sane as I always was....not saying much though.
