DIAS

The 'dias' (raised platform), immediate foreground with steps is almost done; it was tricky, as the back right corner is higher than the rest of it. A bit of a compound curve. The sides will be covered as well, to cover up the roungh construction. The planks become wider at the back; this is so that, from a certain camera angle, they don't appear to diminish in perspective. Hopefully, this will give it a slightly 'off' feel, and will contribute to the painterly look of the thing. It's hard to say if such things will be noticed by viewers; probably not. But it's good to jam it with neat stuff like that. Gives at richness.
