Recently a review was done here of Pro-Arts new modern barriers. These are called Hesco Bastions. The ones made by Pro Art are very nice, but you can make your own quite easily with common supplies. They’re not that difficult. 

You need screen (the stuff in your windows),Gabion Mattress Gabions and Reno Mattress,wire mesh products, some plasticard or even cardboard woyuld do,gabbione, and some nylon cloth. Using the dimensions from QiaoShi’s web site, to build the medium size bastions, here is what you do……………

Scaled down to 1/35 ,

the front, back, and sides are 42 inches wide which is 3.04 cm

the height is 54 inches which scales down to 3.9 cm.

Cut out your cardboard or plastic card to these dimensions, and glue them 

together. 

cover your plastic card or cardboard with your nylon, but leave a little excess at the 

top. you can use white glue to attach your fabric if your using cardboard.

cut your screen to cover around your bastions from top to bottom, but dont 

attach it yet.

Next, paint the fabric part of your bastions a light gray color,waratah fence post fence post, and paint your 

screen a metal color. I like Model Master Steel, but you can use whatever you 

like.

Once your paint is dry, you can now cover your cloth bastions with screen and 

glue them together. try to make your seam somewhere inconspicuous. If you look 

at pictures, you will notice there is a rod that goes on each corner. If you 

want to add this detail, you can simply cut a paper clip to length (the straight 

part), and insert it between the cloth and the screen, and glue it in place. 

Remember the little cloth flap we left at the top??? well,拦河坝, now, you simply fold 

it over the outside of the bastion. If you havent painted it, do so now.

Finally, fill your bastion with yout favorite trash. Maybe sand, dirt from outside, little bits of 1/35 scale gravel, whatever 

you like. Your done. And while you spent a little time,Gabion box with pvc coated HESCO Bastion Concertainer, you also saved a 

little money. Unless of course your building a bunker, then you saved a lot of 

money LOL And you can say you built it yourself
