A cool project. I love the pipes and the vintage button you've found to add them

Paint mixed with sand will do the same "stucco" effect, and it comes in whatever color you choose!

We're planning on using sand over a thin layer of resin for the floor to get a realistic ground effect.

Very nice! I did the same set for Celebration V and VI (and a couple of other Florida events). Must be nice to have a team! I did it almost completely by myself. For my wall texture, I used ceiling texture paint. Light weight, rolls on and so far has stayed on there. Here are some photos:






Close up of texture:

Here are some pics of Blaxmyth putting down a coat of fiberglass resin and sand onto the floor panels, and starting to mount some wall panels to the floor to see what it all looks like. The floor will be painted over eventually with a color similar to that on Tatoine as we feel the Iron deposit left by the crashed freighter years ago just didn't look right.

Great job!

More progress!

Door being painted:

To give the plastered walls a more flattened, uniform finish, we rubbed wood blocks along the surface to smooth out the pattern:

Getting an idea of the finished wall:

We painted two layers of PVA (white) glue on the styrofoam blocks to seal them:

A quick test fitting of the blocks:

Haven't seen this attempted yet, beautifully done so far.

Looks great with the blocks on there. Did you cut those to shape with a hot wire?
