How to… Barbed wire

Materials: 0.4mm steel thread
Tools: Cordless drill, flat nose pliers

Another idea is building in my head how to finish my HobbyBoss KV-1 756 (r) tank but I needed for it a barbed wire. Unfortunately it’s a bit pricey so I’ve decided to make my own. My wife shared with me her steel thread so I didn’t have to buy new one. Making barbed wire is not really hard thing, specially after some practice. At the beginning it may be bit time consuming but later it’s worth the effort. I’ve done some research and decided to make simple two spiked wire. 

Be nice to your wife…

…and she will reward you!
My beloved one unleashed my gadgets and tools craving part of the soul and few days ago my Airbrush came in along with little compressor. It’s time to learn new things.

Last day of holidays and the gift…

As the weather was nice we went for few days of holidays with our friends and their lovely baby girl. Amazing views, landscapes and miles of walking paths. This is summary of the place we went to.

Look at this, they also had one of the  best Fish&Chips I’ve tried
