For the past few days I have been organising, sourcing, painting and building set elements. We bought two bushes from B&Q along with three door knobs for the counter cupboards. I think that my sourcing abilities have vastly improved over the whole of Specialist Practice and I know feel much more confident, particularly now with On The Razzle, of finding things and showing the different options to the director and designer.
Possibility for trees? Keep this option if it is necessary or we need an alternative.
2 Bushes for Miss Blumenblatt's garden scene.
After the get out for Cementville.
Helping to adapt the counter. Applying ply wood to create the shape.

Plywood applied.
Here we used filler to cover the nails and fill any gaps on the top.
Painting the counter.
As the top surface was MDF and the sides were Plywood the scenic artist had the idea to marble the top so that the change in material didn't show.
I think the marbling has worked really well, it just needs a glaze to finish it off.
Below are the results of todays work. All the flats have been created and tomorrow we will be able to add all the doors and windows. I am really pleased with today's work and I really feel I've grasped a lot of new set building skills, for example learning how to use the correct tools and how to cut and join planks etc. together correctly.
Above: Nail gun with goggles (health and safety), this is one of the tools I learnt to use today.
I have also enquired as to hiring a till from the National as the director would prefer something more authentic.
