A wooden floor for the library

[dieastra]

I customized the floor of the Buffy library. I wanted it to be dark wood. I was not a fan of the glaring white plus I want to look it less Buffy and more general library.
But in case I ever want to sell it as original (never!) I did not glue it, just tape cardboard to it. I also plan to make the walls dark brown. Much better, eh?

I had to go check a video clip, because I didn't remember it being white, and looks like it does have this "pale interior with a darker edge" thing going on, although the colors are definitely not that bright or contrasting.

You can see the floor briefly at the beginning here:



Or periodically and more at length here (but the clip is spoilery and probably confusing for someone not familiar with the show):



White is an odd choice, I feel, for both a high school library and a TV show set... But maybe they needed it to not bee too dark?

Thank you for the clips! It's nice to see the real thing, after having studied the model in such lengths. I see now where it differs, where they simplified it. I bet that was not easy to do, to keep the spirit.

You should look at this guy's work. He replied to my tweet. He made his own library before the set came out and it looks simply amazing:

Scroll down the whole thread, there is a second reply with more pictures, and another one where he also made a place called Magic Box, which I don't know but also looks great! Enjoy!

Oh cool! They did a really great job!

Yes, indeed! I know how long I fiddled with my Gotham fence, and that was rather simple compared to this. It must have taken a long time. He said he sold the library and gave the other for auctioning for a charity. So he doesn't even have them anymore. I never could give away something I put so much work into.
