Completed Scaffolding
Here is the completed scaffolding with planking and a mildly weathered look.
It is surprisingly sturdy.
Here it is being constructed:

This will be used in a TV Movie Set diorama,
based on archive photos from the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Once again, the research process was fascinating. As glamorous as film making might seem, the archive photos told a very different story. Setup shots were simple with a lot of clutter right out of camera range. Everything was designed to be taken down and moved quickly and efficiently.
And in the background were many false front buildings, of different eras and styles, in the process of being built.
It was quite chaotic looking and gave me a greater appreciation of how films were, and still are, made.
I will be going to Pittsburgh this week to take some "on location" shots of the TV Back Lot scene. And while there, I'll be signing the first run of the new Elgin Park book which will be available to the public at the end of the month.
I'll give a heads up at that time.
You can see the scaffolding up against the building on the right in the final photo:
