In this episode, David demonstrates how to paint a gradient blue-sky backdrop for the State Line Route N scale layout. Then he enlists Rene to help create horizon lines using sections from various SceniKing photo backdrops. Watch how the backdrop comes together using these techniques!
State Line Route in N scale: Painting a backdrop and adding horizon lines, Episode 13

Given the MDF was removable…would have been far easier to remove, paint it, and put back in?
In other videos you’ve listed part numbers and manufacturers. Did I miss who produced these back drops? Thanks, Mike S.
What are the actually paint colors?
Would you consider using a wallpaper roller type of device to roll the adhesive easily and avoid those inevitable wrinkles that come with applying any long strip of essentially wallpaper on the backdrop?
Noted that your “real” buildings are placed fairly close to the backdrop buildings. Is that done to provide perspective or how far out from the backdrop is a reasonable placement distance?
Next installment link as suggested by others? Where did those go?
I suggest cutting out photo backdrops tight to trees. Then use a watercolor marker in a green slightly darker than the trees to cover the white edge. Do this coloring from the white side of paper. If done carefully it will help the trees stand out from the blue sky.
Am I the only one getting sound balance issues? When Rene and David speak in front of the camera, the sound is fine. But when they have a dialogue, Rene’s voice is on the right side of my headset while she is placed left; the same applies for David’s voice. I check on some other State Line videos and I encountered the same issue. I checked some other videos on other websites, and I don’t get this issue there, meaning that it probably comes from your side.
You’re not the only one, and yes it’s on the other videos too.
It would be a lot easier to follow when both voices came from both earphone sides or in stereo from both speakers. The voices are reversed from what we see.
Bare MDF and Behr paint.
Goo Gone helps to remove stickers and the glue residue from many kinds of surfaces.
back in time we used to get a mail when there was a new video , but nowadays i only get loads of mail about products to buy. Something is a bit fishy here. And it doesn’t end there, what is happened to the serie Rehab my railroad, last part came in april ! and then the serie died. In the comment section there are lots of questions about the and no answers. You guys really should read this space and give some answers. If there won’t be an answer on this i am sure you don’t read our comments. Thats really a pity…Please don’t let us down ….
So how do I find the next installment? After this one ended we are sort of left without links Bach to any listings.
Along the same lines why doesn’t the members home page for MRVP members lost latest videos? I only found this because it popped up on my Google news feed. I should not have to rely on Google to tell me when you post a new video.
