The Ferryman’s Due - Ponyri and the Price of Crossing into the Abyss

Most of the fence will be crushed under the Stupa, but for this I thought easier to make it all, then destroy it.

Slight change of plan - had a good discussion with Saul and decided a large tractor gate would be perfect for the Brummbar to have maneuvered through only to find a surprise on the other side!

Some progress on the fence…

Working on the gates. They are made from scribed sheet styrene that has been textured with a course sanding stick, strip styrene and Tichy train group square bolts.

You are the gate keeper.

Uh, rather be the key master…

Dialing in the tiny details a wee bit more.

Just need a strap on one of the PPSH, and they are ready for primer.

Nice work Doc.

I have tweaked the front fence location and arrangement of the “junk” so that the ATR team has more room to move through the gate next to the Brummbar. Also, the gate opened further, funnels the view towards the figures.
This is why I like all the pieces almost ready for paint, but not yet painted, so I can move them around and make sure it all works and that the story makes sense to the viewer.

So here is the current tweaked layout.
