You may say that you're not an artist, but you've sure got the knack of creating wonderful pictures! A most instructive and entertaining video - thank you

@@trevorrothwell5565 thank you very much

[@barra8771]

Wow, you made it look so easy, it looks very professional.

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Thank you very much

Great video David. That was very inspirational and relaxing. Thanks for sharing. Roy.

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Thanks Roy

Bonjour, je ne parle pas anglais, mais les images parlent d’elles mêmes. Bravo à vous, vous êtes un artiste. 👍👍😉

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Thank you very much!

[@dinmorejunctionmodelrailway]

Your intro is visually an improvement, easier on the eye. I admire your skills. Painting has never been one of mine unless it's a ceiling.
Nice one, David

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Thanks mate, I will create a completley new version in due course but for now I'll put ransom clips over the flashing part

[@kevindevine7597]

That is a really impressive effort, well done.

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Finally managed to watch this back David, pretty incredible skills. I accidentally found out about creating distance with white, i accidentally painted on the greens etc whilst the white background emulsion hadnt dried 😂😂😂..
You said you're no artist but the evidence suggests otherwise. Fantastic work 👍👏 ill have to have a go with uour techniques. Definitely enjoying seeing your guides, really great to watch.

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

@@_RandomPea thanks mate

Very good video, the background does add an illusion of depth to the layout. Blue paint, I think, is Screwfix No Nonsense line, but but sure Wicks must do something similar. 😂

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Thanks. You're right about the paint 😂 I've spent so much at both shops I forgot what I bought where.

[@kenfox7917]

I've only got a Screwfix locally, so I don't have your problem though sometimes I wish I did. When I was living in London I was surrounded by big DIY stores... Out here in the sticks choice is limited.. Then again I would not swap present location for the city. 😊

[@JockeB70]

Very nice!!!

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Ruggedrails]

Great video will use the information on my new backscene but not the music 🤣👍😀

superb

Background looks fantastic, have you been watching Bob Ross?

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

He may have provided some inspiration 😂

[@_RandomPea]

Good one David, cheers for sharing. Said before, I was happy with my simple work until I saw yours so intrigued to see your methods.

[@user-fn1bh3qr6m]

Nice watching…. You make it look so simple, although I know it isn’t. So often you can see wonderful layouts with the same mass produced back scenes which catches the eye, instead of being a nondescript entity that’s just there. Brilliant job.

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Cheers, I've used photo Backscenes In the past but as soon as you put it up you notice the same ones all over the place.

[@Synthesizer_Explorations]

the pace of your videos, the time spent on showing workflow and detail, is perfect. Very useful. Thanks 😀

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Thank you very much

[@FredWilbury]

Excellent time for me to try and get in the railway shed and do some more work on my backscenes. Shed having a renovation at moment.

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

Never a bad time for railway work.

[@czerskip]

Look great as paintings. The problem with most backdrops is absurd perspective that only makes sense from ground level. Otherwise, the layout is looked at from bird view while the backdrop makes no sense at all (like your smoke stacks) thus breaking the illusion.

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

I do tend to agree with you. This is somewhat alleviated by using a lighting pelmet that forces the viewer down towards track level. I. E. If you're stood at full height the lighting rig gets in the way forcing you to duck down or sit on a chair to get the best view.

[@cherrycici8272]

Hi David! We like your content very much. Are you interested in 3D scanners? we can cooperate on scanners. Looking forward to your reply!

[@HorsehayRailwayModeller]

@@cherrycici8272 what's the catch?!

[@grays257]

@@HorsehayRailwayModeller It's there cheap way of using your channel to sell their products. They do it on some model railway channels,completely ruin channel as just producing videos to promote their product. I just unsubscribe and stop viewing. It's your call, but I think it would take away something that makes your channel that bit different from others.
