Next was to create the concrete effect pavement, as i had used Dolls house furniture and accessories before i found these perfect rectangle wood blocks that were the exact size and shape that i wanted for my floor they are seen above. Now i just had to paint the tiles, i looked at photography i had looked at in my research for what shades the concrete was. I started off painting every tile a pale gray colour once dried i went round the edges and tops dry brushing with a darker grey, when that had dried i went over the top with a lighter grey to give the concrete tone and depth. Now that was dried the tiles look to neat to be a pavement so using slightly watered down black paint and a small brush i flick specks of paint over the tiles to create a used and dirty appearance. The lamp post i had previously wouldn't of been able to stand up by it self so working out the position i glue it to one of the tile to create a base so it would stand up. The tiles where paint and ready but i felt it would have looked messy if they were places freely and would not be practical when used in the theatre for a set change, so i decided to mount the tiles to a piece of black foam board so the hole floor could be moved in one piece. using the tacky glue i have previously used i equally spaced the tiles and glued them in place. The flooring was finished and my set was now coming together.
