First try of backdrop. Does it work...or not ?glencairn wrote:Have a go at a backscene. A pale blue sky that is almost white. Rolling hillside. A few bushes and trees. Bringing it to life. I am sure you have better pictures. In a couple of hours a layout improved 1000%.

Re: Shunting layout & branch line terminus
More important 'How do you like it?'
Imo 'Great'. A railway that is 'somewhere' and not just on a board
Just tone the blue down to white with a tinge of blue, unless you put white fluffy clouds on. The look you really want is the one you see as you look to the sky tomorrow. If it is raining, fantastic. Cloudy - fantastic. Whatever the sky, that is what you should aim for.
Meanwhile, well done.

I think that the trees are too small. I must upsize them. Something like that:

The first running session ! LITTLE SHUNTING LAYOUT #1
Re: Another small shunting layout
That looks good to me.
You could always print off some more trees, cut them out and stick them to the backscene for a little more depth.

Re: Another small shunting layout
Ah well, I don't know what camera apps are available for Microsoft. Is there a setting in the camera app you're using to stabilize video? Good lighting would help the quality too.
