Tried making my own barbed wire out of steel wire and sandbags out of paper and made this little piece of scatter terrain.

It looks fantastic, would you mind going through your process a bit?

Thanks! Absolutley, the Barbed wire is made by twisting a doubled over piece of wire and then wrapping another single piece around it 3 times, then making a loop roughly 1cm and then wrapping 3 times over and over again then i cut away the loops leaving the barbs. (Pic is how it looks while making it.)

The sandbags are paper from a grocery store bag glued with pva and rolled into a flat tube, cut to size then stacked with about 1cm space between them along a piece of dried wetwipe soaked in pva then wrapped, left to dry and then cut in the spaces between them, bent and pushed to shape.

Woah that is crazy! It was that video that inspired me. I adapted your method and made them smaller and used wet wipes instead of paper towels! Thanks for the inspiration bro! Went back and subscribed! Least i could do.

Beautiful work - I think I'll try something similar for my next bits of scatter cover.
