Guess best to say i have return after a lenghtly time away will not go into details. The shrink says i am now fine. I posted a while back do not remember about doing a dio on the Wall. Well finally got around to starting it but got a question that is what to made the walls from. I am tinking of plaster of paris i made mold for. my scale will be 1/87. I wanted to do it in 1/35 butit would have been a large one probably aaround 16 to 18 feet. where do i keep it and traveling with it would have been tough. 1/87 scale keep it to about 6 feet by 2 feet abd theb i can carry it in my van. Looking for some good ideas and i know i am in the right place for that. Just glad to be back in the hobby again.

If you're talking about the memorial wall from V.N. , then I would go with a black/smoked plexi-glass. Then you could engrave the names and it would have that black marble look.
