-weather the overpass
-ballast some areas where the scenery meets the ballast
- vacuum the area in a day of two, gives the glue time to fully dry
Things that I liked about doing this large scenery: (You must try these!)
- Heki Wildgrass Fiber- this stuff is awesome! Got the tip from Lance Mindheim and order some a couple of weeks ago. You tear it and glue it where you want. Sorta like static grass, Good for clumps of weeds and grass.
-Super Trees: A must for good background trees. Mine have been sitting in the garage painted ready to go all
summer. I added the different leave colors to them. It was so easy, my 7 year old was making nice trees.
You can see the Heki wildgrass on this little hill. The shack was a late minute add last night about midnight! |
Gotta work on this siding a little. Don't know if I'm happy with the blue hole for the overpass. |
A different angle. Got to get the masking tape up off the tracks. |
VM #281 makes the first run through the scene. |
A closer view of under the overpass. |
Decide to use some static grass in a small field near the entrance to Battlefield Yard. Thought this picture was the best I took! No unfinished scenery in it! |
My afternoon/evening task: Cleaning up my scenery mess! |
Looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHave you considered painting a lighter shade of bluish-green to represent more distant trees as seen through the "Blue Hole" on the overpass? I've got a similar issue with an overpass I am putting in on my layout. You can see the "hole" in this picture between the painted on background trees here: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GoSQObkLcbo/UTKdsfDQEVI/AAAAAAAAAQg/PKr9Lw5kM-A/s1600/painting_finalresults.jpg
