<div dir="auto">Howdy all.... looking for suggestions on making up (fairly easy)</div>
<div dir="auto">giant book spines. I mean BIG book spines. Ok, not 20 feet tall - but</div>
<div dir="auto">realistic spines on 3-4 inch thick "books" that will look like a</div>
<div dir="auto">casually-stacked books that actors stand/sit etc on. I can manage the</div>
<div dir="auto">"guts" of the books/stacks of books, just looking for suggestions of</div>
<div dir="auto">what the spines can be formed with. I may even make some steps (step</div>
<div dir="auto">facing) look like book spines. So those would be more like 7-8 inches</div>
<div dir="auto">thick spines.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br></div>
<div dir="auto">I want that gentle curve of the book spine to show, so no, I am not</div>
<div dir="auto">going to merely take a rehearsal cube and paint spines and pages on</div>
<div dir="auto">them.... I want to have the ability to create what looks like casually</div>
<div dir="auto">stacked books. I also need to create a fair amount, so I am hoping</div>
<div dir="auto">for methods that aren't something labor-intensive: days of shaping</div>
<div dir="auto">styro, coating with bondo, and more days of sanding. (I'm fine with</div>
<div dir="auto">covering the resulting "book" with muslin and painting - just need to</div>
<div dir="auto">batch these out pretty expediently.)</div>
<div dir="auto"><br></div>
<div dir="auto">I figured some of you have done this, either for shows, or store</div>
<div dir="auto">displays, or....</div>
<div dir="auto"><br></div>
<div dir="auto">Thanks for any ideas!</div>
