Mission accomplished! The "paper modelling" phase has come to an end! The segments are now securely attached to the wall and the detachable segment rests on a support with casters, so it can be easily detached and moved out of the way, if necessary. Getting this done, was a major exercise, involving a lot of noise and dirt, much to my wife´s dismay! After 4 hours of work, including several trips to our local home improvement store to buy missing items, everything was in place and the mess we made removed. I used heavy duty steel brackets, bolted to the wall, to support the main segments.   <img class="bbc_img" src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/RahmenE_zps7870580c.jpg" alt="RahmenE_zps7870580c.jpg" />  These supports can carry a weight of up to 650 lbs per pair - that should do the job!  <img class="bbc_img" src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/RahmenB_zps0794543f.jpg" alt="RahmenB_zps0794543f.jpg" />  <img class="bbc_img" src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/RahmenA_zps44688f11.jpg" alt="RahmenA_zps44688f11.jpg" /> <img class="bbc_img" src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/RahmenC_zpse5f6ad28.jpg" alt="RahmenC_zpse5f6ad28.jpg" /> The joints require some smoothing, but that will have to wait until the Easter days are over - just to maintain the household peace. I will also install a board for the backdrop, using 3 mm hardboard, attached directly to the wall.
