The Backdrop

Today a friend of my who is editor with a Dutch railway magazine did the backdrop of the layout. He also does a good job in painting backdrops for his friends.

He started with airbrushing some clouds:

After that he painted the first in the far distance clouds with a light blue Acrilic colour:

Then the second layer with the mountains in front went on in a somewhat darker tone blue, followed by 2 shades of green for the forest on the hills:

And a light green for the hills:

Then he shaded the forest with some tones of dark blue:

 Last layer is a mist of airbrushed white for the distance:

Ready!:

Left with the buildings and a brown painted hill:

And the right:

We are very happy with the end result. On we go with the scenery!!
