- This week we are adding trees into our painted backdrop with Rob Spangler who is painting the backdrop for the 1/20.3 scale railroad at Garagemahall.
*******************************************************************
Rob shows the way he paints deciduous trees onto the backdrop, moving from dark to light, adding "sky holes" , trunks and branches and highlights.
************************************************************
This is part three of a series of shows as Rob paints the backdrop for the three track switching yard.
******************************************************
The railroad is mostly the Denver and Rio Grande Western, but also sort of generic western narrow gauge. Garagemahall will also feature a On3 and On30 railroad above the switching yard known as the "accidental railroad".
****************************************************
A 1/20.3 logging line is also planned, and about 8 feet of track has been laid for that line.
*****************************************************
In part one Rob showed the ins and outs of painting with acrylics, both artists acrylics and acrylic latex house paint. All while coning Rob to paint the backdrop for the switching yard on the Utah and Colorado
*****************************************************************
Part 2 was on working with color changing RGB LED strip lights and which double stick tapes work best for mounting LED strip lights.
He definitely knows what he is doing, that backdrop has come out fantastic.
We’ve been so busy with so many things, we really need to get back on that switching yard! And rob almost has the backdrop finished
Wonderful video guys, you hit it out of the park. Thanks.
Looking good. Interesting to watch. Can't wait for it to be finished .
David Tucker us too! Soon!!!!!!!
its away so fun to hang out with you too trains scale rc rigs love all that fun stuff im glad i do it it keeps me busy thinking about new ideas all the time
karl schweizer screwing around is always fun. Well not always but generally speaking!
This week's drinking game word is... Biomass :-)
Peter Norkawich i've never thought of myself as a source for a drinking game. But now that you mention it I'll drink to that
Wooohoooo....it's the gruesome twosome....I hope yous two youngsters are doing well!
Another great, entertaining, educational and inspirational video....happy days!
Coffee?
Superb work and a great and talented friend to have.
davie maclean robby can paint a wicked backdrop! Which is about as far removed from his professional life as humanly possible. He was a professional mathematician working for the IRS. Seriously!
Rob did an amazing job with those trees. What a great friend to have.
True! And always ready to help.
Olá.
Your chanel is wonderful, full of excellent topics and great ideas for fun, thank you sir. Greetings from Portugal.
Nuno Rodriguez wow hello from America! Glad you like the show glad my abuse of the English language isn't too brutal and you can actually understand!
you sir, do not abuse in the English language, but i have to say, it is an abuse of fun :)
May i ask if the 3 D program is to much complicated ?
Very interesting and very labored intensive to make that 3D look...Great Video.
tjorgensen2007 Karen and I are really anxious to try it out! OK not really on the living room wall that was just a joke. I think.
Happy little trees . . .
Ast A. Moore they are smiling.
Outstanding! Rob is definitely magnificent at what he does. This has inspired , yet another, background change at Highland Park, Co! I've been painting all my life; but, I had no coaching, until this and the previous video. Thanks to all. I can't wait to get-r-done. Just another excuse to not screw with my hooking up the DCC! Speaking of which, there was a Civil War reenactment at the San Benito County Historic Park south of Tres Pinos, Ca (an hour and a half away) this last weekend and many of us learned there is an HO and N Scale model railroad being built in one of the buildings. I got to see their early track installation and the initial DCC wiring. They're open every Saturday and I may just have to attend every once in a while for educational purposes! It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. The HO system is really going to be nice! Who da thought?!
This episode is a keeper. I find the use of that 3 D program you demonstrated, amazing. As you may be aware, computers and I are in a polite relationship. Just so you know, as if you didn't, the segments show very well on the 42 incher in the family room. ROKU does not have that blue button. LOL! Thank you for a great demo. Greg and Jeanne
Jeanne M. Uzar hi guys I hope all is well! Karyn and I are sitting here watching TV in Denver Colorado having just had dinner in around house! I thought you would enjoy the tree show given your love orchids.
Pretty gosh darn clever, I thought.
Good info in this program. Thanks!
jabru41 Karen and I are dying to try this out and to build the half round trees! Have some ideas on how to go about should be a lot of fun screwing around with.
Doing reruns, such a great video. Very, very inspirational; incentivizing to pick up the brushes. Great backdrop in the car window too!!!
Need to finish the trees on the backdrop on our layout. Started. Not finished.
Wow
That Robbie, what a tree hugger........
Wallys Weathering just exactly what you would expect from a professional mathematician
If you don't mind I'm going to change this segment title to, Screwing Around With Trees and My Right Arm Is Tired. LOL. I love the segment U guys. 🚂🇺🇸🚂🇺🇸🚂🇺🇸🐢
Very interesting...you'd never think you'd get trees from the dark blob that you start with! :) Jack
Jack R it's really cool to see that it's just a process and a fairly easy one to understand! I'm dying to try it but we find ourselves screwing around in Colorado, which is wonderful. We just went to an amazing car show at the Shelby American museum. They wanted $75 a person so we snuck in. Something like six actual cobras to Austin Martin's a wrap Peed and a DB seven, a Ferrari GTO which had to be a reproduction I mean come on. But just amazing stuff
Absolutely amazing 😉 painting. The depth is really taking shape, and I am anxiously awaiting the next installments on this project.
Gary Sumner next Sunday we're adding some buildings to the back bra. Unfortunately I haven't built the new buildings for the backdrop! But there well into the planning stage and we are testing and hopefully the information gleaned by screwing around with this will be of use to people
Wow! such an amazing backdrop, i cant wait to see it with buildings and 3d trees and all finished!
Sailor Boy us too! We're off at the narrow gauge convention in Colorado and just heading home I'm dying to get back to work on the backdrop
I agree. From a far, trunks give a grayish hue. I guess it's the color of the bark and how the light hits it.
And the key is making something that looks right. The light color looks more distant. As you say from distance.. and that is less distracting letting the trains look better.
Oh if Bob Ross was still alive, you could have hired him along with Rob. :D
Very helpful. Great technique. Go for the cubist trees (joke).
Wow, I also had an eclipse moment when the trunks and branches appeared. Before, the biomass was nice, but a bit lacking for a foreground (of a background). After, the trees poped out.
I think that the blue button is only supported on Ford and Subaru devices (not sure if the BMW one is compatible).
pbyfr it works on all three of our mustangs. And the Seabring and Ford focus. Oddly it doesn't work on anything with a computer in it like a cell phone. I've actually heard that RUclips changes the interface five times a week. The only thing I find surprising is but it's not six or seven
Awesome! So when will you put in the half trees?
LEGO Master in the next couple of weeks are you hope! We have gone off to the narrow gauge convention and are now on our way home with a whole bunch of awesome video! Looking forward to building the fence and trees and ice house
Toy Man Television awesome! Absolutely can't wait!
Where can I see more of Rob's work? This is going to be my method from now on. Thank goodness for my 12 credits at MU in art.
I'm going to have to play around with painting trees. I'm currently using a panoramic photo I took and had printed out 11 feet long, which works for what I'm doing.
So are you driving South from Inkom at the end of your video?
Now for a serious question how would you go about making giant sequoias in HO scale ??????
Klingon 1701 have you seen Al's video on how he makes pine trees? That works in just about any size we've been using his system for making trees on our 20 scale railroad and those trees are about 3 feet tall. Which is about right for a giant sequoia able to Rachel railroad. The bark is a bit tricky everybody has a technique for making really deep groove to bark. My favorite system is to wrap the truck in that green epoxy putty I'm so fond of you know Billy Mays is mighty party. And band pole vertical grooves in them took that with the tool of some sort like a sawblade
Mr Toy Man, what did you do before you retired?
By the way, I enjoy you narration.
Add trees that are half-slow and half-fast. (That's a Louie Armstrong play on words).
eclemensen
Supposedly he was playing in a concert for the Queen of England and was told that a certain piece was a tempo the Queen found "uncomfortable." The queen loved music and I doubt the tempo would adversely affect her sensibilities. Anyway, again, supposedly, Louie told his group not to play it too slow or too fast but to play it half-fast.
That's one of those "That's the way I heered it." :-)
The quote is on a Louie Armstrong quotes Internet site, but no context is provided.
tom7601 i'm very very familiar with that piece of music it's in the key of C however if it's played half fast it sounds like L.
Toy Man Television
One of the members of the Barbershop Chorus I used to sing with liked to say, "Give me a note, I'll flatten it for ya."
For someone who was just painting trees .
You look a little Bushed .
Klingon 1701 hard work planning a tree party.
Toy Man Television / thanks for the quick response .
Now about my other real question . How would you make a giant Sequoia in HO scale .
