The scene was met with great enthusiasm.<\/p>\n<p>For the backdrop, we used our tried-and-true MAGU wall stone\u2014no concrete at all, but with a real impact. The material was ideal for this symbolic presentation, as the photos impressively show.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Frenzel writes to us in an email:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201eThanks to your great system, we were able to complete the basic structure in just 2.5 hours. The finishing touches on the final model, \u201cTrabi Breaks Through the Berlin Wall,\u2019 then took only 2.5 days.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>You can watch a short video about the project
