Easy Backdrop Painting for Your Model Railroad

In this video I demonstrate how I paint my backdrops. This is an easy and affordable way to make backdrops. Clouds for Wilmer!!
Sorry for the camera work in the beginning.

I love watching Bob Ross!

[@FlyingCrow]

He makes it look so easy.

@@FlyingCrow I know! He starts out and you think what in the world and then in the end there's a beautiful work of art! I wish I could paint landscapes like him to use for my backdrops!

Thanks so much Flying Crow. Very helpful!

[@sparky107107]

[@DruSteel69]

Great job, Robert. I do see a lot of happy trees. Ha ha I do agree about the lighter blue sky. Thanks for showing us how you painted your backdrop. I will have to catch me back to this video when I’m ready to paint. Happy model railroading! - Drew

Very good demonstration - I use the same method for all my backdrop scenery, and from a distance it looks cool. Well done - Kevin

Enjoyed your vid very much Robert, like the way you explained your method. Looks really good, even before totally dry.

[@FlyingCrow]

Thanks!

[@FlyingCrow]

Thanks!

Very Good, Thanks for making the video.- Gary

[@pdrrengineer1404]

Thanks for the demonstration of your technique Robert. I plan on using the same basic method for my backdrops when I get to that point. I believe that the point you made is that the result gets better the less you think about it. Art...

[@FlyingCrow]

Absolutely. When you keep trying to add is when things go awry.

[@sparky107107]

I am going to try this on my live stream. see if a all thumbs type of guy can make it look as good as you do. and just this easy.

[@FlyingCrow]

I hope it works out or I will be a failure. ;)

[@ProScaleModels]

Great video - question, how did you mount the boards to your walls? Thanks in advance.

[@FlyingCrow]

I screwed them into the studs with a #8 screw and finishing washer. You can just paint over the screws and it hides them fairly well.

[@ProScaleModels]

@@FlyingCrow Thanks bro for that.
