Backscene


 After last month's debacle with the ballasting, I was somewhat reluctant to carry on with the scenic aspect of the layout but thought that it would be worth it in the end. 

I decided to turn my hand to the backscene of the layout. A daunting task because I possess almost no artistic skill whatsoever. However, a bit of daring do and some dumb luck on the first coat has yielded some pretty impressive results.

A typical blue "Welsh" Skyline... I hope


I have gone for some rolling hills and a nice clear blue sky to begin with. I  need to add more detail to it but it has added a lot to the layout and gives it some much needed depth.
