15mm Wrought Iron Fences

Here's another one of my legacy projects finally getting attention.  In the early 1990s, I bought three packs of Faller HO scale wrought iron fences.  These are packs of beautiful wrought iron fence sections with concrete posts.  The pack yields lengths of six different style fences, each style includes gates, and the sections of fence range from about 2.5 to 3 inches long, or about 8.5 to 10 inches of each style fence without the gates.  I used a few sections on projects in years past, but had always intended to create some free standing fence sections for use with 15mm France 1940 and other WWII games.  

The fence sections were mounted on 5/8 inch wide .04 inch thick styrene strips cut to the length of the fence sections.  The ends of the strips were trimmed back at 45 degree angles to allow the sections to be set up to create up to 90 degree corners.  For now I only used two patterns of the fence, some of which had already been used, so I ended up with about 5 sections of one style and about 10 sections of the other.  

For each style, one section was made with the full concrete post "frame", with posts at both ends.  The other sections had the right post removed, such that there would not be double posts when the fence sections are set up.  I also made a knocked down section for when those pesky tanks run through the fence.

Here are a few pics:

The lower photo more clearly shows how my reference to 

the fence post arrangement in the text.

There is enough fence to do maybe 4-5 frontages along a street.  I'm not sure if I'll make more free-standing fence sections, just just use the remainder of fence on set-piece buildings.
