on Rick Wade’s new layout, we love the superb way Rick blended
the foreground scenery with the photo backdrop.
Rick says, “This scene is one of many rolling hills scenes on my
new Richlawn Railroad HO layout. I started by cutting out the sky
on the self-adhesive backdrop that I purchased from Backdrop
Junction. Once the backdrop was installed I used my airbrush to
lightly mist the hills with white to create the low hanging clouds
and continued those clouds onto the painted blue walls.
“For the foreground hill, I applied tinted gray plaster and carved
it as it dried to create the rock outcroppings. I covered the hills
with fine medium green ground foam before adding 4mm static
grass on the hills and 6mm grass at the base of the hill. Finally, I
dry-brushed the static grass with tan, brown, and orange paint.”
