Hi, I'm really new to set design and I have found myself challenged with building the set for a production of Arrabal's Car Cemetery. I have an area that is roughly 36 ft by 38 ft into which I have to fit six cars, 100 audience seats as well as some playable space to boot. I also have a budget of just under 1000$.
the cars are going to be made of plywood and cardboard, with the tallest measuring 4 X 10 X 5 and the other five butting up against the wall: a stack of three that is 4 X 8 and two side by side which are 4 X 6.
Any recommendations/ tips would be welcome, especially of interest are the following:
I want to mock up corrugated metal siding with rust splotches, I am planning on trying to do that with cardboard, any other ideas for that would be helpful.
If it is practical to try and build cardboard "cracks" onto the floor (using cardboard again) to simulate cracked cement which is heaving and buckling .
Any other thoughts, please post them!
thanks
