Description
A model railway layout is greatly enhanced by a good back scene. If a modeller is prepared to go to great lengths to achieve realism in the locomotives, rolling stock and buildings, this should be carried through to the scenics. This book is a comprehensive guide for both railway and diorama modellers to create convincing back scenes. AUTHOR: David Wright trained as a commercial artist and illustrator, and has over forty years of experience under his belt. It is this experience in the visual field that has led David to apply those illustrative skills towards showing how simple, but effective back scenes can be painted, even by the complete novice. He is well known in the railway modelling world and has written widely in the railway modelling press. This is his fifth railway modelling book for Crowood. SELLING POINTS: . A comprehensive guide to creating convincing back scenes for model railways and dioramas. . Will inspire all modellers to create that final touch to their model railways and dioramas. . Of great interest to all modellers, especially but not exclusively railway modellers; the skills also apply to dioramo modellers in general. . Packed with information on rural, urban and traditional painted back scenes; choosing the right materials; lighting and presentation and much, much more. . Superbly illustrated with over 300 colour photographs and diagrams. . David Wright is well known in the railway modelling world - this is his fifth book for Crowood. 300 colour photographs and diagrams
