    Thanks, yes I assumed the gaurds van roof would be knackered so some sort of alternate covering was needed.

    The jump was made fron cocktail sticks, the bedding was balsa wood scrappings and the hay bales are also Balsa wood scraped and painted.
    Unfortunetly as i'm under the weather at present I didn't get time to build the gate.

    Great entry. A terrific scene and great details and use of the van itself. You have really went to town on this.

    Some very good competition on this. The poll will be set up on the finish date to let the masses decide.

    Good luck with this fabulous entry

    Hi Andy,

    judging by the state of the crumbling dry stone wall, the gate probably needs to be depicted half hanging off it's hinges, like the gates of a nearby farm to us they barely stay on two hinges for any time at all :avatar:
