I've finished the bookcase! All books are in, painted and I added the final touch - a dusting of talcum powder to make them look old, worn and dusty.

Working in a jewellery shop is pretty handy when there are a lot of unwanted boxes lying around that I can recycle into bookshelves for my film!

I then covered these boxes in mod roc to harden the whole thing.

After my tutorial on the set it was suggested that I try making books out of cardboard and once painted cover them in a layer of PVA glue so that it gives them a leathery shine effect. I also thought I could add bits of string running along a few of them to give the effect of the ridges on old leather bound books.
