Prepping the Hampton House work room - walls and flooring
When I set up my fly-by-night scenes, I use a lot of tape in addition to smoke and mirrors. These rooms aren't meant to be permanent, so the materials I use are quick and plentiful. I don't use limited papers (unless they are only clipped in place) or spend a lot of time on room design. It just needs to be a box with finishes that will blend into the background.
Since I'll be working on this new scene for a few days, I set it up on a board so I can move it around. For a room with sidewalls, I usually use the pre-cut piece from the Foxhall Conservatory I used to make the Newport garage. Unfortunately, it was one of the few things ruined in the lightning strike, but I have the front board from that kit as well as the windows. I could cut a new board, but this will work for now.
The windows have only a coat of primer, so perhaps I should take some time to finish them eventually. I need one side wall for this setup, so I used duct tape to attach another spare board for better stability without permanence. I didn't have a large 3/8" thick board for the floor, so I used three smaller scraps. I taped an unfinished flooring sheet in place since I don't have any finished ones awaiting installation.
