Post Description

In this, the second of two landscape modelling DVDs, Barry Norman continues on from Right Track 5. Here, he dresses the landscape with trees, hedges, a country lane and water effects. He begins by modelling a country lane and shows how he forms a cart track, hedges and a cornfield. The texture and colouring of these elements is important and he explains the methods he uses to make superb model landscapes. Modelling water is one of the most challenging of subjects and Barry explains how he goes about forming ponds and small rivers, carefully selecting materials and colours to give the best effect. The many types of tree in the countryside require different approaches and Barry models deciduous trees, pine trees and a winter tree. Starting with the basic elements, he creates some most realistic models. He then goes on to show how he formed a pine forest for his Lydham Heath layout. A major inspiration for Barry has been the Pendon Museum. The DVD includes two sections based upon this magnificent EM gauge model and Barry takes you on a tour of the layout and gives a potted history of the museum's development.
