RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted August 21, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 21, 2015 Morning Bodge, Every one seems to be liking your sky backscene so I was wondering if you could help? I am looking for an artist who could do a miserable looking murky city sky for Sheffield Exchange, not that Shefiield is a miserable murky city, just too many layouts have nice sunny skylines. Do you know someone who could help? Or do you only do nice sunny skies? Enjoy your breakfast with George today, I hope the susages taste great.

Great work by the way Andy. Particularly like the platform finish, it's very effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Morning Andy, Repeating what I said on George's BS thread, enjoy yourself there tomorrow and safe journey both ways, Kind regards, Jock. Thanks Jock, really good journey up, but held up with Road Works on the way home so it took just over 2 Hours, horrendous . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Scenic's are coming on great Andy, The backscene is looking good too, it's given me an idea to add some more trees to mine. Cheers Peter. Back ground sky and trees look great Andy.. Cheers Peter and Neil, I do enjoy doing my own backscenes, there not as good as many commercial ones but the are unique.

Andrew P Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Great sky! How's it done? Hi Neil, Thanks, basically its a LIGHT wafting over White Faced Hardboard with Halfords Ford Olympic Blue, and sometimes some White primer if I've gone to mad. Clouds can be added with the White Spray can or a Brush. The Trees are several different Colours of Artists Acrylics and a 1 inch Paint brush, I tend to use Sap Green, Lemon Yellow, Yellow Orchy, Phalo Blue, (Green Tint) and Raw Umber. I don't worry to much about what colour I will use next, I just tend to dab the brush into a Green and the into one of the Yellows for a bit of variety. The only colours I mix on the Pallet, (a scrap of Ply or hardboard normally) would be the Blue and one of the Yellows to make a Green and then add more Yellow or Sap Green again for Variety. I will do some Step by Step pics on the next section for you all. I hope that helps Neil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted August 21, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 21, 2015 Taking shape nicely Bodgemeister! The back scene always gets left to last over here (or never as the case may be), you're wise to get it done at this stage! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Clive, Sorry I cant do MISSERABLE Mate, and believe me I did try on one Layout, and it really did look B*****y AWFUL. I don't know how some Artist could capture such threatening Skies and have them looking convincing. One solution might be a Darker Blue, Have a look at Mike's (Mike 61680) Dent, he did his Sky with a Rattle Can bought the wrong one and the looks rather menacing. As for Breakfast, a dam great Breakfast Bap with Egg, Bacon, Sausage and Brown Sauce, WONDERFUL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back scene always gets left to last over here (or never as the case may be), you're wise to get it done at this stage! Thanks Shaun, I will find it easier now to position Trees in front of Trees on the Back Scene for added depth and the same applies to the fencing and hedgerows along the back.

georgeT Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 l think some of your backscenes are just as good as the ones on the market in fact better, with Clive's grey rainy backscene for Shefield all you have to do is paint grey all over it wont be far from the real thing, hahahaha anyway thanks for a great day and making me get every bit of stock l own out of the boxes, just finished putting them all back, hahahaha....

RMweb Gold Donw Posted August 22, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 22, 2015 Andy did some videos in his Trebudoc thread on doing the Backscene there was also some articles in Railway Modeller very useful. Perhaps the most elaborate storm backscene was by a US modeller which included sound effects of thunder and a strobe lighting flash. Personally I would go for sunny.

john flann Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Andy, I like how you've done the trees, etc on that back scene. Very well observed and executed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Donw Posted August 22, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 22, 2015 Very good Andy. I have a bit of flocking do myself I bought one rather than faff around making one as speed is of the essence. Do you brush the PVA on and if so what do you do if it needs a bit extra?

Andrew P Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Thanks, Joseph, John and Don, Don I put PVA into an old Tomato (other Brands available) Sauce bottle and pour as required and spread with a Brush, to add more later just add more PVA and re apply as I did in my Trebudoc Video.
