If it's getting casted, will there be any additional wall sections?

Yeah. Next on the build list is an octagonal tower. Hopefully something like these on either side of this gate.....

Once again an amazingly detailed build.  :-*
I spy in the background some possibly matching wall sections. And a collapsed bridge.

I'm afraid the bridge is a long ago forgotten project that was supposed to be for 40k Apocalypse. I was trying to use the Brooklyn bridge as inspiration. Over the years it's taken a bit of damage. I don't see me ever using it( I don't play 40k anymore), but I can't bring myself to throw it in the bin!





The other wall sections are already available from Mutineer Miniatures.( not my work BTW)

I am sure that you could make a small board with that as the basis of it for the Crooked Dice boys.....Planet of the Apes, Post-Apoc, Escape from New York all spring to mind....

I second Mason's motion! Definitely worthy construction to be used in some PA kind of way.

Love the gate and all the detail, will keenly follow the work on the octagonal tower as well.

Thanks for the close-ups of the bridge; a fantastic build that.  I echo also that it would make a nice center piece of a PA board. If you can't throw it out might as well re-purpose it.

Looking forward to your next project.

To be honest, if you're not attached to it, you could probably sell it even in its incomplete state.

In all honesty, it wouldn't take too much to bring it up to this standard. I've shown this before, it's a finished part of the same table I was trying to build with my brother.....

So I had a bit of a major problem with the gate.  When we tried to cast it in a vacuum chamber the silicon seeped into the hollow area! The model was pretty destroyed!  :'( :'( :'( So I've done it all again and I took a wee bit more time, this time. The pattern at the top now goes all the way around and so do the crenellations around the parapet.





I've also done a couple of ruined wall bits to add to this too....
