Thinking ahead to making a european hex battlefield and wondering how I can make the rows of dragonteeth ,the pyramid type on the border of germany

Ahh..... You could buy them from CinC.

You may try those of Leva Productions, a Canadian company They have three different types of Dragonteeth in resin.

You can make one strip with a Fimo like clay. Bace it in the oven so its hard and then pour latex over it to make a mold. Then use plaster of paris to make dozens of them.

Thanks guys I did not see the dragonteeth in the C in C catalog ,but thats what I need.

Make a dragon's-tooth-shaped punch out of whatever -- a bit of old plastic sprue or wood or whatever you have lying around.

Get some wax -- the soft, oily beeswax they use on rounds of cheese is ideal -- and roll it out flat and about 10mm thick.

Indent it with lines of dragons-teeth, and fill the indentations with epoxy, running a little between each indent to create a connection. Wait for it to cure, and pull out your line of dragons-teeth.

Repeat to suit. If the wax gets munged up, just smooth it aout and start again.

Thanks Peter fitz that sounds more like it ,fun to make and the price is right

If you have a meat hammer/tenderizer in your kitchen, there is often a flat side and the other side has row upon row of prymid shaped teeth.

Make a mold of these teeth, I used the laytex rubber molding liquid and painted the laytex on in several layers, with a layer of gauze or cheese cloth for reinforcement.

Then a cast the teeth in plaster, and I have all the Dragons teeth I can make

Good Luck, Bill
