Right Track 5

Modelling Landscapes: Part 1


 

Right Track 5 - Modelling Landscapes: Part 1

Barry Norman is well known throughout the model railway hobby for his layouts of Lydham Heath and Petherick. You may also have seen his books: "Designing a Layout" and "Landscape Modelling"

In this, the first of two programmes, Barry shows how he lays the basis for his excellent model railway scenes.

Beginning by researching the prototype, he explains the methods he uses to find the details he will need for the completed model.

He then describes how he designs the layout to include the most interesting aspects of the prototype and show them to their best effect.

Having designed the layout, he then sets about the more practical aspects of baseboard construction and making landforms before laying , texturing, colouring and detailing the landscape.

Laying, painting and weathering the track area and fencing is covered and the programme closes with a guided photographic tour of his two most well-known layouts.

Right Track 6, completes the landscape with trees, water and a country lane.

Here's a preview of what to expect.

Congratulations to you and all involved in the production of this fantastic DVD! I had no real pre-conceived idea of what to expect but attention to detail and the sheer quality of photography have surpassed all my expectations. I have always been wary of building locomotive kits simply because I was unsure how to tackle such a project but, with the help, advice and the detailed explanations provided by your own considerable experience.

I have ordered a DJH A2/2 - one of my all time favourites!
