What happens here
After preparing the base, create the characteristic gingerbread brick pattern on the elevator walls. This can be achieved by cutting and adhering individual brown rectangular pieces of paper, cardboard, or foam to simulate bricks, or by painting a brick pattern directly onto the base layer. The video suggests a slightly raised, textured brick effect, which could be achieved with thicker foam pieces or by adding dimension with a raised outlining material in the next step. Ensure consistent sizing and spacing for a realistic look.
Goal: Form the faux brick pattern on the elevator walls
