Building a pub interior by Jo from Oathsworn
Part 2
Next came the stone tiled section for the lower floor area. This was much quicker to do, so again with my pen & ruler I drew lines from left to right 1” apart.
Then I rotated the foam and drew lines 1” apart again to form the squares. I then drew some cracks on a few of the tiles to add a bit of interest.
I then covered the bottom layer of the floorboard section with PVA glue and placed the detailed wooden floor on top.
To ensure the glue had a good solid bond I placed a couple of weights on top of the glued pieces (boxes of grip-seal bags in this case) and left it to dry overnight.
Next I glued the tiled section onto the side of the wooden floor and held it together with a couple of strips of masking tape underneath (which was a bit fiddly). This was when I realised it would have been better to have cut it all from one piece of foam and just add an extra section for the wooden floor. Oh well, live ‘n’ learn.
