Model Railroad Backdrop Painting

- In this video I demonstrate model railroad backdrop painting. I show you how to paint sky, haze, and clouds to create very realistic model railroad backdrops. These techniques work great in combination with photo scenes to create believable backgrounds for your model railroad layout.

See how I installed the backdrops and valances to this area. Here is a link to that video: ruclips.net/video/k8Kpl6VsgL0/видео.html
I never knew Bob Ross but i am sure he would approve of your happy little clouds.
Lol, I hope so.
Definitely a Bob Ross student of the art.
I hadn't looked at the comments yet; and thought the same thing!! He would be thrilled :)
Hello Ron. As the warm weather arrives and the world starts to resemble a sense of normalcy, many MRR content providers are cutting back. So I really appreciate your regular episodes again. Nice tutorial with fine results. Thanks for sharing. See ya next time.
Hi, Norman. I'm trying to keep content as regular as possible. There will be a few brief interruptions around vacations and extra work activities, but I will keep them as few and brief as possible.
Paint on paint? Wet on wet? Shades of Bob Ross for sure. It's a great technique. I'm into Bob's style minus a lot of his "landscapes" His mountains and trees are gonna be great for my background. When done properly you can create tremendous depth.
Thankyou for the tips and video
7:39 a Pair of Quads... Nice
I don't understand...
@@RonsTrainsNThings a truck is pulling a nice pair of quads in the photo
great tips on painting.
thank you/
Nice job!
Nice art work clouds, they look great. Bob
Thanks Bob.
Ron nice job.
I understand not having the same brand of paint after 9 years (been there & still am). However, isn't there a paint specialty store in your area?
When I have a color matching problem I peel a chip of my existing paint to take to my favorite professional brand paint store. They have an Optical Scanner which determines the percentage of pigmentation in my sample. Then using their array of options the store can blend the available hues to match my chip. And they do a fantastic job of it. So much so it takes an artists eye to disseminate the seaming.
To maintain a Wet-on-Wet painting surface you might like to experiment with Liquid Clear or Liquid White. These two base coat paints keep your surface slick longer. And make blending easier.
Liquid White is a pigmented material for basic base covering.
While Liquid Clear adds the same Wet-on-Wet viscosity to an under painted surface. Like your rolled blue sky. The other advantage is if a surface cures before your done, or you want to go back and touch up an area, merely apply an area coating of Liquid Clear and blend the paint over that.

Thanks for that tip. No, the nearest specialty paint store would be an hour and a half from me. Here it is the local hardware store, Walmart, or nothing.
Holy moly, those look good! Thanks for the tutorial!
Thanks Joe. 👍🏼
New RTNT video - a great way to kick off the day! Really nice technique, Ron.
Good video keep posting videos up stay safe lee
Great effect Ron, looking forward to having another go with mine.
Ron. You are too dang talented! Those clouds look very good!
Thanks so much. 👍🏼
You have a gift for art.
clouds are fun.. nice job..and you did a really great job on the blend into the existing backdrop..
Excellent video Ron 👍 I always look forward to watching them !!!
Looks gorgeous!
Thanks Jimmy.
Some great artistic action Ron. Thanks for sharing.
Looks great!
thank you for detailed video
5:56 That is my Flat 2" Brush. If I look in my paint box... Well I know who is the sticky fingers.
😲🙄🤣
Another excellent video! I’ll be calling Midwest Model RR to talk about my new layout.
I like this clouds .
Well done Ron. 🚂🏆
Looks good Ron good job 😀👍
Well done Ron. Shame the paint you used last time was unavailable, but your choice worked well. Great ideas on the clouds. M
Like it, I looks very easy when you do it....thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍
Great look and tutorial Ron!
HELLO RON ITS IS RANDY AND I LIKE U VIDEO IS COOL THANKS FRIENDS RANDY
My 1st layout I used a paper stencil that I had made and a rattle can of white paint to make my clouds. Then I went back on and sprayed some light grey to the bottom of those clouds. I wish that I had taken some pics to show off but I forgot to.
Hey Ron, those clouds look real and the technique looked easy. A couple of those clouds looked like they might be holding moisture, you better keep the track covered til they dry in case it rains.
First( I was awalys curious how to?)
Hi, very informative video! What is the thickness of the masonite board ? about 3mm (1/8 inch) ?
Hi Ron:
Our Church basement train layout has the 1/8 inch Masonite on 3 sides. It is way past time time to paint it. What brand of primer did you use to apply to the surface prior to painting? As you stated, the Masonite is slick. Thank you.
Chuck in California.
Any inexpensive indoor primer will work just fine. I personally used some leftover primer I had from redoing the ceilings in my house.
'Scuse me while I paint the sky....
(apologies to Jimi)
Nice. I saw Hendrix twice. The first time at the Hollywood Bowl. This before they removed the reflective pool in front of the stage. Many fans were in the pool splashing around. Jimi told them to stop before he was electrocuted. Lol. In regards that song...when Jimi got to the line in the song he looked at Noel Redding and said, “ excuse me while I kiss this guy” Very funny. That same show, which was extremely loud, you could watch the grilles of the Marshall stacks pop out. This due to a blown speaker. A truly memorable show.
How can I just make a tunnel? And that is easy to do
Fairweather Sky.... You have a mouth like a sailor
🤬🤬🤬🤣🤣🤣
I watched your artistic expression, and you had good results. But please add gray. Clouds are frequently more gray than white.
I can't paint to save my life, lol.
By the way, you can cut a small piece off the old backdrop, and a paint store can match the color and mix a new can of paint with the exact same color.
I’ve went and tried your techniques, but there’s something about the cottage cheese that’s now smelling awful! Might should stay away from dairy painting…. LOL
Nah, this is good brother. My backdrop has been blue fir a couple years. I’ve got the masks from New London but I haven’t mastered em yet. I’ll give a test with a brush soon, but I’m not very artistic.
Thanks, as always!!
Hey, Andy. Great to hear from you. Yes, you have to spray the cottage cheese with Febreeze every so often. 🤣
RON you’re quite an artist, that’s a big area, you did this video in about 15 minutes, wanna come do my 2x3 N scale? You’ll be done in 5 minutes, I’ll buy the coffee 😉
🤣🤣🤣
Ron...I just visited your sponsor's web site to buy various shades of Grasses...it's very difficult to navigate from product to product and many items' photos are not available---which makes it hard to buy grasses and other things without photos to see the colors. Just sayin;...

No need to ‘PAINT’ backdrops for model railway layouts; if one is at the very least a good amateur photographer then you can save yourself a lot of time by photographing backdrops for your layouts instead; the second advantage is that backdrops that are photographed will look so much more realistic, you just need good knowledge of photography, a good tripod, a high resolution camera, and a decent lens.
