Activity Media Modelling Landscapes Part 2 Right Track DVD 6 (RT6)
This DVD is a practical guide to finishing the landscaping of your model railway. A programme of approx. 2 hours is presented by accomplished modeller Barry Norman, well known throughout the model railway hobby for his layouts of Lydham Heath and Petherick. His books, covering layout design and landscaping are highly regarded guides to producing a realistic setting for your models.
In this second landscape modelling DVDs, Barry Norman continues on from Right Track 5, dressing the landscape with trees, hedges, roads, lanes and water effects. He demonstrates how he creates these details by modelling a country lane, shows how he forms a cart track, hedges and a cornfield. The texture and colouring of these elements is important and he explains the methods he uses to make superb model landscapes.
Modelling water is one of the most challenging of subjects and Barry explains how he goes about forming ponds and small rivers, carefully selecting materials and colours to give the best effect.
The many types of tree in the countryside require different approaches and Barry models deciduous trees, pine trees and a winter tree. Starting with the basic elements, he creates some most realistic models. He then goes on to show how he formed a pine forest for his Lydham Heath layout.
A major inspiration for Barry has been the Pendon Museum in Oxfordshire and this DVD includes two sections based upon this magnificent EM gauge model as Barry takes you on a tour of the layout. The DVD contains the following sections:
