It is flexible enameled copper wire offered in a variety of gauges up to about the thickness of a 28mm scale strand of hair. Since it already has an enamel on it, it should handle paint well.<br /><br />Another thing to keep in mind is how to twist your wire. you can make a great braided wire effect by taking your wire and folding it in half. slide the loop over something to hold it (a screwdriver in a vise works well for this) and grasp the loose ends in a power drill. Give it a couple spurts and you have nice even twists.The Baron Dakka von Shootifexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00199166740338396028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-569833534976465990.post-70281787000388134262010-11-08T09:35:29.820-05:002010-11-08T09:35:29.820-05:00Hit up a hobby store like Michaels and they have w...Hit up a hobby store like Michaels and they have wire mesh you could cut and very thin wire you can twist. (higher the "gauge", thinner the wire) Could cut up lots of little sections of the wire and glue it as barbs. They also carry chains for necklaces and wristbands that are 40k scale.<br /><br />Pipe cleaners also work as barbed wire, just burn off all the glitter. (though they're usually still kinda thick)<br /><br />Honestly, I like the barded wire you have around his face. Considering what beasties lie in the 40k universe, barbed wire is going to be thicker.Dave Garbehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01557481319925772152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-569833534976465990.post-87628846769811837462010-11-08T09:07:05.661-05:002010-11-08T09:07:05.661-05:00This hits me right on the head.

Then I start work and realize that I cant make them work out as well as I wanted.<br /><br />I started my latest World Eater army by resigning to making the models look nice and then pray that they come out well in the painting process.<br /><br />So far that has worked out.<br /><br />I think we all get disappointing projects every now and then, the best course of action is sometimes to just except it and move on.James Paladinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10222175179866335381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-569833534976465990.post-79894893057921301792010-11-08T08:25:46.638-05:002010-11-08T08:25:46.638-05:00Spiderwire Fishing Line.

I have a million ideas that I'm not talented enough to accomplish, so most of my stuff has the ILLUSION of what I want.Loquacioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01667591498679385934noreply@blogger.com
