Dragons teeth, how to?

hey there
i was thinking since i'm kinda skint at the mo' it will be hard to get decent materials for
a nice looking, battle damaged house or something (to build of course). i was wondering though, how hard can it be to make some tank traps? so i was wondering if anyone knew of a good way to make them? i figuerd i could use an ice cube tray to mould them but what would i cast them out of? i also wan't to have some way of anchoring them down without the use of a baseplate, maybe a nail would do? i would gratefully apreciate any help you guys have to offer!

cheers jack

p.s. my dad is a huge model train fan and has lots of spare track, it's OO scale though (HO for you americans) however he also knows a friend who has G scale (about 1:24) so maybe he can 'lend' me some for a small price, anyway i just thought they might be of some use to me in one way or another.

What about casting them in concrete ! It's cherp to buy and they will look real! You could set a wall plug on them so you could anchor them down!! :thumbup:
