I have some fiberglass screen mesh I was planning on using. I was thinking coffee swizzlle sticks may be close or used ink cartridge like a used ball point.
I'm working on an experimental backdrop and was thinking of uing a section of chain link by a factory.


Gee, Boston & Maine do I sound like a broken record. I read the link.

Good one B&M. I must have done something wrong as I tried a search for FENCE but received no results.

Breaking news for chain link (http://www.amaco.com/shop/product-368-wireform-metal-mesh.html). Fellow enthusiasts at CTT use a mesh normally used for clay modeling. The national craft stores carry the item.The link has the details. Hats off to a member "underworld". I guess I still don't spend enough time at AC moore. Gumby held out on me.

I use bridal veil material called tulle (tool). It comes in all colors including silver...the mesh is oversized for HO but just right for O.

Thanks, I've worked on the techniques since that one and have fewer burnt fingers to show for it...:laugh:
