Landscaping for Model Train Village

Video Transcript

"My name is Kevin Blakeney and on behalf of Expert Village, we are now going to tackle landscaping on your new model railroad village. Now while you are painting you want to keep in mind your ground covers. Because some of these are easiest put in place in the wet paint directly. Now we have some green ground covers that can be sprinkled over the hills. You want ot tap those in to the wet paint. That is going to act like your glue. You can also add some seasonal color. This material which is like a riped up sponge is perfect for hill sides. It comes also in orange, a yellow and a red. You sprinkle that out as well, tap it in, make your hill sides even more realistic with the rock work. You are going to want to keep away from larger landscaping materials for now until we place the buildings and the people. Then you can step back, take a look and decide where you want your impact. Like bushes and tress to go. These would frame your structure perfectly. So now that we have the landscaping in place you want to continue painting, you are going to want to work just like that in small sections all the way around your layout until all of your hill sides and flat surfaces are done. You also want to keep this material in mind when you are doing lawns in front of houses and in front of commercial structures. This works perfectly as garden material, it adds a little bit more details in the scale. "
