Work on the highway underpass settings concludes. Watch as host Gerry Leone shares techniques for blending his realistic photo backdrop into the scenery. Starting from the back and working to the front, Gerry builds out the countryside setting with a variety of ground cover, strategically placed trees, and signature roadside details that turn this model railroad space into a plausible place!
For more information about the unique backdrop blending technique Gerry employs, read Gregg Condon’s February 2021 Model Railroader article, “Blending Roads into Backdrops”.
