As the Kallax advocator in the group I really like the idea of rolling literally up to a show with all your stuff in a single unit and unpacking from it, but completely see how storing and transporting the thing is probably not the most practical I was surprised how well my Cadeby pastiche worked with no backscene. It help that it has always lived in rooms with white or pale blue walls,. Yes backgrounds can be mounted in other ways or you can borrow one, as you mention from the wall!
Hi James! I think I wanna buy one of your books, which one would you recommend? I've often found back scenes tricky, the 'hole on the sky' does my head in! I've only recently started trying to photograph my layouts and have found a back scene useful. I'm very lo-fi and don't have a computer or the wish to play about enhancing photos after I've taken them. Mikhail, buy all of James's books, they are all inspirational, and a worthwhile investment.
I speak only as a satisfied customer! Take care. Post a Comment Thank you for leaving a comment on my blog - I appreciate you taking the time to share your views. February 01, No progress. Hours spent in books, very pleasant, led me back to Fenit - and later to Valencia. Stored in the same box was my Bachmann 24 and it struck me how similar these were in sizeβ¦. Fenot was born. What followed were some mock ups and ideas about a basic kick back single turnout scenic masterpiece. A bleak and windswept place, as far from buckets and spades as you can imagine.
Cold and wintry echoing the death throws of the railway itself. Conversation with Steve and ideas from older exchanges with Paul and George and I explored a few presentational ideas too. The IKEA website proved an exciting and interesting place to explore with alternate ideas in presentation in mind.
So with the H wagons due imminently, a set of Accurascale 16t minerals here already and a new Bachmann 25 on the way have I made a decision? Track plan and concept yes, floating free-formed scenic section with a shadow gap on a plain, dark, rectangular base⦠the stumbling block is where it could be stored here, when not in use.
