8 - Kyle - A night off?...
Update - Good morning - I had hoped to have a long productive evening last night working on the layout with the TV tuned to the UK elections...but it was one of those evenings where everything I began, started going wrong
To begin, I painted the platforms a beige colour as from the photos there are two different types of platform surface, however it looked so awful, I ended up overpainting with grey about 3 hours later. Then turned my attention to the backscene, which has been produced using a montage of sky from Kyle photos and then applying on top of a strip of Kyle mountain spliced together. The jury is out at present - I think I will redo it...but perhaps after the exhibition. It has sort of captured the effect I wanted...but not to the standard I was hoping for.
Last thing before I decided to call it a night was apply a little grey paint to the harbour side as a base to add further colours - Its not the right colour but should be easier to apply different layers on top.
All in all, I think I will have a night off tonight and try and forget about it as its going to be a busy last weekend...
Few pics attached...
Overall shot showing relationship between scenic and non scenic boards...
Close up...sorry about the 90° corner...but its better than no backscene...
Further to Donw's request...a cruel trackside view...
