Watch as artist Jay Smith, former illustrator (ret.) for Kalmbach Media, concludes backdrop painting efforts on David Popp’s Olympia & Sand Creek On30 display layout. In the course of this video, Jay and David walk you through the entire process, so you can see the amazing visual transition from simple sky colors to majestic mountains. Be sure to explore the entire series, appearing exclusively on Trains.com Video!
Wow. Wish I could hear you a little better David but no problem, we got through it. Did you at least buy Jay lunch for all that!?
It is certainly inspiring to see the proess from start to finish, albeit with an expert to guide us to that point.
Yes, sorry about the audio problems. We had a mic go bad during the shoots and didn’t catch it until late in the game.
Not to worry, we took care of Jay for his efforts on this project!
I have been following your build of the Olympia and Sand Creek with great interest and I am finding many of your techniques applicable to my layout. I spent a lot of the time during the last four episodes with a sense of amazement at how the backdrop has unfolded from bare wall to finished scenery. Very cool, David and Jay.
Once again, really nice work guys. Thanks
Wow! That really came together well. Nice job, Jay.
