      Hi, there will be a mixture of photo backdrops and scenery as a backdrop. Just due to the line being on the escarpment with a lot of bushland in the background. Even on level 1, where it will be all about the steelworks, there will be a lot of 3 to 4 story steel sheds as the backdrop

    Would love to follow a fellow Australian modeler's build but without a comprehensible timeline (ep1, ep2, ep3) it's pointless for those trying to catch up on first discovery. This seems to be a normal practice worldwide, making it much harder for those of us just starting out.

    • @JasonWood_Escarpment
      @JasonWood_Escarpment 3 месяца назад

      Hi John. Usually, if you go to their RUclips channel and go to the video TAB, they are in order of video upload. So it the scroll to the bottom and start there, that should represent the order. Now, in my case, as I started a new channel and reloaded the first 11 to 12 videos, they are out of sync from a timeline point of view. But it's a good point that you make, especially in my case. It may be something to correct in the future..cheers
