The backdrop is in place. The corners are just put there temporary for the pics, when they are glued in place all joints will be spackled and sanded before painting:

We've also built the swing gate crossing the entrance to the room. Here there will be a curved trestle crossing a gorge, hence the "Y"-shaped construction:

To secure the gate in its closed position, I wanted to try out a so called ball catch or snap lock. It's very nice and tight, with no play at all in any direction:

I haven't seen anyone else using this, maybe they know something I don't..?
