I just found ideal chain-link fence material for vignettes and dioramas in 1/35 and 1/48 scale in, of all places, the grocery store laundry aisle. The product is known as a washing-machine lint trap. For a couple of bucks, you get two rolls of 2″ x 11″ thin, flexible metal mesh. The mesh comes in “tubes,” which means you get 44 square inches of mesh in each of the two rolls. For either 1/35 or 1/48 scale, this gives you a long fence. For the uprights, I use thin straight pins with small balls at the end (you can get them at sewing and craft stores).
