The Backdrop Blues

<P>Colvin - that's a good point about the shallow background structures. That's exactly how I am going to do my city scene - with backdrop buildings blending into the backdrop.</P> <P>Where I have issues are the areas of my layout where the background will be hills. I recently watched a train video at this forum and this guy had clumps of lichen climbing up the wall like a three dimensional backdrop depicting hills. I was impressed with the way he did it and with no background except blue wall. I thought it looked darn good.</P> <P>I must admit that I am surprised that more modelers don't like the photo backdrops. Perhaps I am looking at this the wrong way. Just the fact that there is a similar post at this forum now about just painting clouds and it has 2 pages of replies already is a testament to this. Interesting.</P>
