With regard to the backdrop, the river scene behind the bridge will be difficult to execute. Also, many of the structures needed to depict a town scene will be rendered in 2D versus 3D. That will be a fun challenge as I would probably use the same technique I used on the Pioneer Mills diorama for the Lyceum as described here and here.
My two English pennies. I think the river scene behind the bridge will be helped by the cable/barrage I can just see stretched between the banks. Presumably that was to stop debris floating down and damaging the bridge.
ReplyDeleteWhat I might look at are the two roads you show. It can be hard to marry the modelled road surface with the backscene when the road meets it head on. If the roads met the backscene at an angle you could disguise the join with structures or vehicles stopped at the wayside.
Thanks for the comments. The river is actually flowing into the backdrop. I am not sure what cable you refer to, was it in one of the photos?
DeleteThe streets are perpendicular to the tracks in town, so I would try to replicate that.
Hi Bernie
ReplyDeleteThere's a line drawn approximately where the modelled river meets the backscene. I thought that might be a cable or something disguising the join, but it might be that it indicated the join itself.
Understand that you want to replicate the actual layout of the town/RR.
Hi Bernie,
ReplyDeleteGood to see that you will expand the Aquia line! I will follow as you come along with the build. Succes!!
Grtz, Ronald.
