In reply to Bill's post:
"While thinking baseboards, I’ve pondered back scenes and their need also to be planned at the early stage in order to best coordinate with scenery and structures. My brain then wandered onto diminishing lines of perspective and scale. So here is my question: has anyone used diminishing scale as a modelling technique between the main operating features of the layout and the backboard scene?
I want to investigate this issue and incorporate some techniques into my new layout. I’m thinking in terms of incorporating smaller scale people, vehicles, vegetation and buildings. Perhaps a winding road of diminishing width, some N gauge items, possibly structures with decreasing dimensions?
Experience, suggestions and comments will always be welcomed.
Cheers m’dears,"
I have a place on my blossoming layout where the backscene is more that 2 meters away from the viewer. One way I intend to tackle this issue, particularly because I enjoy them, is to use Scalescenes buildings. You need a printer that has the ability to print in percentages of full size, but you can incrementally reduce the size of a model to achieve perspective. Beauty of it is, you only pay once for the download of a kit from Scalescenes, after that its down to how much printer ink you want to invest in your buildings.
All the best
