Sand Barrier
 

Just got done with a new item that might be useful

http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/sho...php?i=23907&c=8

I recommend saving two version: one at the default 480 x 600 dimensions an the other at original 575 x 719 dimensions. That way you can make a small and a larger versions of the sand barriers.


Just got ink so I'll post pics with Joes soon.

Oh! I see what it is! It'a a Hesco! at first I thought it was some kind of fence! Sweet!

Say What!

you use them to build walls around your FOB's (Forward Operating Bases).

cool i was hoping someone would recognize them :)

i should be able to get some pics soon

Tank you very much. I didnt know what they were either!! Awesome!!

That is a well done Hesco! If my storylines ever reach the desert that will probably be used :) .

That's pretty cool. I was thinking earlier today on how to make some of these for some of my planned dios. I might still make the actual ones and use your print outs for the skirts. I remember being a young PFC in Bosnia and we got these after we had filled what seemed like a million sand bags. If I recall correctly (history lesson coming up) these were originally designed to help reduce erosion in Britain or Scotland possibly Ireland I don't remember. But they are a hell of a lot better than sand bags for larger areas.

Thanks all :)




yea i did some research on these after see them on the military channel as i had no idea what there where at first. i found that the hescro had a 101 uses if not more

one thing i did was to make sure the lid and the bottom where separate pieces. i figure that folks could do what your talk about put in actually sand in them.
