Make It A Do It Yourself Project: How To Make Your Scenery Look Real
With this “do it yourself” option, you can design your winter/Christmas model train scenery that’s sure to be one of a kind. You can use your hometown for some inspiration. Don’t be shy about using your hometown because you’re afraid what people might say. You shouldn’t make it complicated either; instead use common items you find in your home to make your scenes.
Make sure you use home items that you don’t actually need or perhaps items that can be cheaply bought again; see what you can make from these things. For instance, use baby powder or flour to decorate the scenery in place of dirt, sand and snow. For novice scenery decorators, a helpful tip you need to keep in mind is not to use actual sand for the model since it can look unreal. If you want buildings in the scenery, consider making them out of cardboard strips to the exact measurement and right color.
Mud can be used as substitute for any living creature; all you need to do is mold it to get the shape you desire. You can also use mud to build tunnels. If you’ve got small sticks, use those for rail signs. You can use painted sand with the hard bond paper to give an illusion of roads. These are just some of the things you can do, and with some creativity, you can make a lot of these items and more. Look for items you plan to toss out and see if you can make something of it for your scenery; something that will sure capture the attention and hearts of all who see your scenery.
Buying Ready-Made Scenery For Your Project
Many retail and hobby stores carry ready-made items; no doubt these will save you the hassle of having to make your own and getting those details down just right. Whatever you want and whatever style you are going for, you can find it quickly and easily. However, by going with these readymade scenery packages, you are losing that freedom to custom the scenery for your model trains.
When you decide to use buildings and trees, use the large items in the foreground and use the smaller ones in the background. This will ensure that your model train scenery looks much bigger than it really is. Don’t use a lot of details on the scenes because it can become cluttered and uncreative.
You can make all kinds of model train scenery to match whatever season you choose. Springtime, summer, autumn and winter… whatever you dream, you can make come to life with your scenery.
