Hi there, I'm working on building the set for Legally Blonde. For the trailer scene, I need to build a flat that will fly in and out and act as the trailer. So I'm thinking about taking three 4x8 sheets of luan to build a flat 12 wide by 8 high and build a 12' Airstream. I'm thinking I'll cut a small RV door into the center section and I'm thinking about using 24" wide aluminum foil, laid down like wall paper to create the body in aluminum panels. I'll make a tire out of some sort of large round tray or lid. Paint grass and weeds around the base of the "trailer" to hide the fact that the flats are square to the floor. Oh and paint a front window onto the foil.
Has anyone ever tried gluing aluminum foil on as wallpaper? I'm debating what adhesive to use for this. Super Spray 77 would be great for strength but won't give me any time to work with the material to get it lined up perfect. Do you think wall paper glue would hold? I considered perhaps diluted Elmers glue thin enough to spray?
