I like the build. Can you explain more of how you did the wall and where did you source the gate?

Sure, the wall is made of block size pieces of cork separated by a strip of cardboard. Then covered by a mixture of very fine sand, plaster and white glue. The gate was made from two simetrical pieces of shaped wood that had the pattern (from an old broken spanish hand fan) glued over sheet styrene. And two wire thingies on top. Then painted with the salt method for the rust.

The gate process:
After that just a bit of weathering.

Thought that's what you had done with the wall. I had plastic strip instead of cardboard in my mind. The door was an interesting surprise.

Giovanni, Patrick, Nick, Ryan, and Hyder, thanks for stopping to take a look. I admit it was a fun build where I tried some new techniques that worked out well. I am satisfied with the result. Thank you guys!

Hi Marcos, Your dio came out looking really well ... nice job all-round!
I especially like those first two closeups which highlight the spec unearthing and preparing to cut the wire!
