After another weeks worth of painting on and off by the decor team and the addition of more detail from the set builder, this is the current state of the set.
Stage Right. The triangular construction on the left is one of two peris, each of which revolve to provide a different setting option on each of its three sides. This side is part of the external streets of Ankh-Morpork setting. Still some base coating of odds and ends like the bright green bracket and detail work to do here.
Another more oblique view of the same area. I love the finial over the rather oddly coloured round arched window, the bargeboards and the ridge tiles, the huge faux cast iron hinges on the central door, the X-shaped wall brace…
Even though I spend 2-3 hours in front of this set three nights a week, I still get so much pleasure from the way the little details make it all come to life.
And Stage Left. More broken plaster and shutters over the bay window which now has infilling and a window sill.
Longer view with a better look at the central double doors (which hide the Patrician’s dungeon) and part of the other peri on the far right of the photo. It’s a bit dark but there’s actually a full size (fake) door built into that side.
Only four weeks to go until we’re in theatre and so much still to do – for everything!
Add the lighting and it’s going to be a very atmospheric set!
What a wonderful set — all that detail. I love the flower vine growing up beside the door. Its so very intricate and very lovely. Big applause for all your hard and beautiful work.
I wouldnt want to tread the boards but Ive always said id have loved to make and paint the sets………….what fun seeing it all come together!
