This show one of the plaster cast dome pieces.
This is four pieces of the plaster dome pieces attached and later this will be attached to the pipe dome rigged above.
Building of the Dome of the Star Chamber
This image shows the structure that the carpenters and plaster men built to start the process of casting the plaster pieces of the plaster dome of the Star Chamber.
This image shows how the plaster men have spread out the plaster on the rig they built. They cast twelve different pieces…I think. LOL
Two Domes of Star Chamber
This image show Alex King our plaster man on far left, Neville Kidd one of our Brilliant Directors of photography and Andy the plaster man to the right.
The lower part of the image shows about six pieces of the plaster dome attached together. The upper part of the image shows the structural pipe dome rigged above the plaster half dome.
The plaster dome will be attached to the pipe dome and hoisted above the rest of the set. I know it sounds confusing, and this was the first time I have ever built a dome? Well we all know I didn’t build it…the Plaster men and Construction did a truly amazing job!!!!
Model of the Star Chamber
This is the crazy model of the Star Chamber. There were a few jokes about it looking like a spaceship ready to take off. This model was built by Jasper and Gillie. They built the model then we tried all sorts of different images to go on the walls.
