Build a Set Parts 1, 2 & 3

Build a Set is the time saving tool for stage designers, production designers, and scenographers of white card models. No drawing or measuring. Present multiple proto-type models. No need to share the only one-off model between departments. Just print, cut & paste pre-scaled 1/2":1'-0" PDF template components.

Part 1

Scaled Flats

This section contains standard flats, doors, and windows labeled with 1/2” incremental markings to enable a quick assessment of flat sizes

needed in your design. Pre-scaled 4’ x 8’ panels, and 1,2,3,4 & 5’ wide x 10’ high flats are designed to permit the creation of non-standard items, cut-a-way walls, drawn scenery, and props. Potential uses of the larger 1/2” scaled sheets might include stage surfaces, locating major set pieces, large floor sections, rugs, carpets, and various flooring types. Simple people figures are provided for blocking, and scaling distances.

Part 2

Flats, Doors and Windows + Backstage

Standard size flats both blank and containing baseboard, mitred trim, and square corner block trim around doorways and windows will help detail your set design. Interior single and double doors ranging from  24-72” and standard 36” front doors with molding accents can be assembled with bay windows, both single and double glass doors, curved arch ways, and kitchen barn doors all 1/2” inch scaled.

Behind the scene?  Create backstage mirrored flats, doors, and windows with all bracing and strapping showing.

Part 3

Stairs/Beams/Columns/Platforms/Roof Trusses & Rafters

Elevate your set with a wide range of stair options. This section contains easy to assemble stair blocks 1,2,3 & 4 step pieces from 2-8’ wide complete with bannisters, and railings.
