New Layout Build - Making a start on the branch line scenery

After months of going through ideas on what to do with this area I've now made a start on the first bit of scenery. This part of the layout has little room for industry or buildings due to the track layout so I've started building a more rural section. Behind the mainlines I'll be adding low relief buildings in future to add some variation to the scene. I've got a long way to go with this area but it's great to have another section of bare baseboard covered with scenery.
Link to Luke's video regarding the trees. I'd always wanted to have a go with seafoam trees and found his tutorial very useful. I've been watching Luke for years and many of the techniques used in this video are inspired from Luke's work. Well worth a watch...

@thescrapline4905 4 жыл бұрын

I remember when you first put your backscene in and talked about how you envisioned the lay layout to look. Country side, moving slowly into a built up area.. when you dropped those sidings in and the coach shed I did think at the time you've lost that rural area. That change really has made it so much better. Layering up all those materials really does work. I'm on my South end scenics right now. Nothing but embankments and a river flowing through the middle. The most enjoyable part of modelling I find.

@EverardJunction 4 жыл бұрын

Same here, really enjoy the progress. The areas we model were often long embankments or cuttings with trees and bushes so I felt it important to include that somewhere. Long way to go, but pleased with it so far.
