The Osney Story: 0 Gauge Cameos and Dioramas

[AndyB]

Hi and apologies for being late to comment on backscenes. Hopefully my recent exploits may help others.

 

I've used 3.6 mm plywood on the straight sections of my backscene, which are 7" tall. Because I want to remove them to access the FY and make sure they remain straight I've put framing behind them. 

 

 

@stivesnick suggested a way of securing the backscene using small connector blocks which was really helpful. 🙂

 

 

 

 

To make sure they don't scuff and break up where they butt up to each other I'm planning to seal the edges with PVA.

 

I'm going to use 2 coats of Gesso to prepare them for acrylic painting.

 

Where the backscenes curve there was too much tension in the plywood so I've used mount board with two layers laminated together using Copydex. This was a lot easier to use than plywood! Again I'll probably seal the edges with PVA to reduce wear and tear. 

 

All the best. Andy
