Title: Has anyone here painted in a station as a backscene?
Post by: Geoff on July 09, 2014, 09:27:53 AM
Hi all just wondered if anyone here had painted a station as a back-scene, I can get one platform in but the other side would have to be painted in, I am trying to get the Wetherby station in my layout as Collingham Bridge Station is my main station on my layout, I should be able to get the main building done OK as normal but the other side would have to be sketched and painted in.

I think I've seen them painted on back scenes at exhibitions, but never done one myself.

Would it be possible to use the front, a single layer, as a very very thin low relief building and touch up with paint where needed?

cheers John.

Nice one John that does sound like a good idea I shall try and implement that, I get the room in about 3 weeks time so I am just trying to get my ideas going in my head but it seems to be coming together.

It's a concept I'd not even thought about, but sounds completely feasible! Good luck and let's see the results!  :thumbsup:
