thank you for the super detailed video from Australia

Just discovered your channel and subbed you! Greetings from Melbourne Australia

Helpful video.

Noticed a lot of building graphics from Cleveland, OH ... and that's where I'm from and that's what I need!! Thanks for a nicely done video tutorial.

Great job on the background, great tutorial! Keep them coming👍👍👍

Very well laid out. The central street becomes the focal point with everything to the left showing right-side facades and everything to the right showing left-side facades. Now if only we could model our craftsman kits to have the matching perspective! That's the biggest challenge with urban backgrounds. If you follow the roof & window lines along an urban receding street forward to the actual back edge of the layout (the 'horizontal' building lines always emanating from the zero focal point), the front modeled structures would have to be built in trapezoidal 3-D. And the layout would have to tilt downward toward the front. I prefer rural settings with only far off random structures and no streets receding into the backdrop (as interesting as they are). Using structures, fencing and some fauna to hide the layout/backdrop transition, it can be made to appear the land drops off at the back edge of the layout, reappearing as a field, hill or mountain further away. For what it's worth, I'd shift the left side industrial building 3-4 cm to the right, covering up the light brick structure, leaving only the much further away structures visible. And I'd rotate the two stores counterclockwise to match their sidewalls to the pictured buildings on the right side of the street - adjusting the layout road to work with it. That said, all that work was a real tour-de-force of proper background making!
