    Ron, another outstanding tutorial! I will have a lot of corn fields as modeling the midwest and trust me, will be re-watching this series for inspiration, tips and tricks! Well done!!!

    The physics in fences is actually very similar to power lines. I happen to work in the electricity industry as a powerline designer, so I see lots of powerlines and lots of fences. This video is definitely a good starting point for the basic design of fences, as well as how to model them.
    Ron, if you go on to build any powerlines from scratch like this, I'd be happy to share some of my knowledge.

    I saw a ton of these fences as a kid, but never paid too much attention to details like post spacing, etc. Thanks for posting.

    I'm modeling Kansas, so I've got a lot of fences and farmland to build. This recent series has been super useful. And being a city boy, I need help. Thanks, Ron.

      Just remember, most farmland in Kansas do not have fencing around their fields except along a highway. There usually is an adequate amount of fallow ground between the fencing and the crop so the farm equipment has a pathway to move and turn on.

    Ron, everything looks great! I'm sure you know, in Texas, we paint the tops of the gate posts violet or purple to indicate "No Trespassing". Not saying you have to. Just offering an added realism idea. It turned out amazing.

      They do that in Missouri too, though usually in wooded areas where people might be tempted to hunt without permission.

    Hi Ron , I’ve been watching the farm scene build very enjoyable. I have the exact same barn to build. Pick up some good tips on the build. Looking forward to seeing the next update. I wish you could share how much time is involved if you know L O L. Thanks for sharing. Have a good weekend. 😎😎 👍

    Looks nice!... I've found that upholstery thread works pretty good for wire! And regular thread with fuzzies on it that is air brushed simulates very tiny barbs for barbed wire n scale is so finicky trying to make everything ultra realistic!

    I was curious on your opinion on the woodlands premade fencing like the wood fence chain link and all that I think I got everything that they offer I've yet to physically use it on my layout but I got it just you know for future projects so I just wondering what your thoughts were

    • @RonsTrainsNThings
      @RonsTrainsNThings  10 месяцев назад +1

      I really haven't used it and haven't examined it up close, so I don't really have an opinion. I do need to look into that sometime.
