After building the farm/frontier house and looking at it for awhile and thought it would be unlikely they would have no fenced pens, no way to keep some small amount of livestock.
I have seen many fences build, and I doubt mine are revolutionary, that being said, here is a modular fence system.
Supplies:
Wide craft sticks
Wooden stir sticks.
Wooden match sticks.
Hot glue.
Cutters.
Pumice paste or PVA and sand.
|
Step 1: Take 2 match sticks and cut them in half |
|
Step 1: Match sticks cut in half. These will be your fence uprights. |
|
Step 2: Cut the end off a stir stick, so that it is flat and then cut to length, slightly shorter than the jumbo craft stick. These will be your long fence boards. |
|
Step 3: Using hot glue, glue the upright posts to each end of the fence board and then fill in the other two. You can measure or eyeball. I just put them approximately in the correct place. |
|
Step 4: Put a small dab of hot glue on each of the upright posts to attach the second fence board. |
|
Step 4 Cont: Attach the second fence board to the uprights to give you your fence. |
|
Step 5: Place a thick bead of glue along the length of the jumbo craft stick, this will be the base. Alternatively you could place the glue only in the 4 places your uprights attach. |
|
Step 5 Cont: Place the uprights into the hot glue and hold it in place till the glue cools. |
|
Step 6: Texture the base either with PVA and sand, or a pumice paste like Vallejo's and let dry. |
|
Step 7: Paint the base colors: Light brown on the fence and a dark green over the textured base. |
|
Step 8: Add a dark wash over the wood and dry brush the base with a light green. |
