Reinforced concrete wall

For building:

For painting:

First, decide how high the wall should be.

I folded some cardboard in two to make the wall thicker.

After that, I glued the toilet paper with PVA to add some texture. For one wall, I cobbled the toilet paper together and then smoothed it out to make the texture stand out more. For the second one, I just glued it flat.

Once everything dried up, I made some little holes. They should represent some damage done by firearms. I’ve used a push-pin for the smaller holes, and a small Phillips screwdriver for the larger ones.

I also made a larger hole with a cutter, and sacrificed a paper clip to add what should be the metal bars that reinforce the concrete.

Since I was not that precise while cutting the cardboard, I’ve also added some bars at the top.

I also attached some unused pieces of flat metal to the cardboard base. If not, the wall would fall too easily, especially while playing, if one touches it by accident.

Some considerations and possible improvements.

I did not make a T-wall, but something more akin to a "L-Wall". The main reason is that I took inspiration from the Berlin Wall ^🗄️.

To make the terrain piece more robust and less prone to falling on the side, a T-Wall makes much more sense.

The use of toilet paper for creating texture does not seem to be necessary; the T-walls have a very flat surface, even after taking some minor damage.

Mostly grey.

After that, brown on the metal bars.

On the other side, I’ve added some graffiti. I’ve used some stencils I had lying around, even if none of them were war-themed. It might have been a better idea to paint the stencil first, and then glue the wall to the terrain, since I had multiple stencils on one piece of plastic, and thus I was not able to use those in the middle.

The intention of the reinforced concrete wall I made is to offer complete coverage; for this reason, I made it tall enough that all "human-sized" models cannot see over it.

But what about larger or flying models, for example, a gigantic dragon or robot? They might be taller than the wall or be able to fly higher, no matter which size one chooses.

Most wargames should have rules covering how a line of sight works. In particular, even in the presence of those bigger models, they should not be able to see smaller models "hidden" behind the wall, unless the bigger models are also adjacent to the wall.

Also, for bigger models, the reinforced concrete wall could offer a partial cover if they are visible, similarly to a wall of sandbags, or if the wall is a Jersey barrier (a smaller Bremer Wall).
