Steel bollard chain fence on the Yukari layout

[Madsing]

I have purchased and just received this CY700001 2set 1/700 Scale Model Ship 0.55mm Black Anchor Chain.

It's meant for a model ship but I think I can use it to build a fence similar to this https://www.sunpole.co.jp/supply/post-8159/

The chain link diameter is 0.55mm = prototype 82mm. Maybe a bit large, but should be ok.

 

 

By the way, if you are looking for examples of different types of fences, there are 100 pages of photos in the landscape catalog here:

To be continued...

Some progress here. I managed to build the fence as I imagined (I spent most of the afternoon of Christmas day trying to thread the 0.5mm chain through 0.7mm holes in 1mm styrene rods). The steel bollards are painted with 50% Tamiya XF11 JN Green + 50% Tamiya X1 Black. I am very happy with the result.

 

 

The pavement is made with TGW (Tsugawa) NDP-1 New Plastic Design Paper - Brick 50, airbrushed with Tamiya XF2 Flat White 96% + XF1 Flat Black 4%, then unevenly dry brushed with Tamiya XF66 Light Grey (which appears very blue), then weathered with AK-Interactive Neutral Grey Wash AK677 diluted in AK049 Odorless Thinner. That's not exactly what I was going for (I have tried many things, still learning here...). It looks darker and "older" than what I wanted, but I like the large tiles. Let's say it's a pedestrian shopping street that has been recently renovated using large "fancy" stones.

 

 

 

 

I still have to add people and other details, then of course detail the buildings.
