A stone lane, as in the stone to be driven on or walls? I am planning a little something for when I build my contracting business up and not too sure about letting out the planned secret materials?

Ok, I was going to try felt roof material, it looks like lots of small stones and was going to be my track up the farm.

Cj you can get bags of secinic materials from the woodland scenics range. It's about 6 quid a bag. I use twigs covered in secinic materials to make hedges. As for a lane you can use PVA glue as a base and sprinkle sand on it. You can make very realistic looking trees and hedges very cheaply.

haha the barbwire is actually storm window screen cut into a very thin strip

really its little squares i think its made from nylon or somthing kind of like  what OLD ford made his chicken fence from just cut into single strands  kind of looks like barb wire with all the barbs on but may be too many

but hey works for me

my  scenic glue has sert pretty well but the material does still stick to tires after its been siting on the layout for months

hope this helps Nick

ps if you need some of the storm window stuff i can easily send some to ya mate
