- In this video I take a printed PECO backscene and using Inkscape, Scalescenes papers and card create an ultra low relief set of house backs to add a 3D effect to the backscene.
Video created using InShot

That's a really great idea, the Pico back scenes are cost effective and frequently appear in layouts, so this technique makes them more individual and hugely improves the flat look of them.
Very impressive. Definitely one of the best backscenes I've come across.
Many thanks, that’s great to hear
A very interesting and useful video. It's coming along very nicely too.
Very nicely done Liam. A great effect. Roy.
Thanks Roy
That technique is simply on another plain,well worth the time and effort.🙌🏻🙌🏻
Many thanks glad you enjoyed it!
Very nicely done.
Cheers
A way to make clouds is to paint blue then before it dries use cotton balls to take off the paint leaving the white background behind...
Really good Liam looks good
Many thanks Brian
Not my scale or country that I model; but a very effective technique for backgrounds. Thanks Much for the 💡 ideas!
Thanks for the feedback, glad you found it of interest
Hi Liam, now that looks great, I’ve quite liked those Peco backscenes but have always felt they looked a little flat. You’ve brought them to life! Looking forward to your next update, cheers Liam, John
Thank you, much appreciated. I think the drawn/printed backscenes add some warmth to layouts and for some reason I don’t think photo backscenes quite suite layouts set in the past. They look great on current day layouts.
Really well done, very effective.
Thanks Leon, glad you enjoyed it!
looks good
Many Thanks
love the idea of making a flat back scene into a 3 D one ..................tony
Thank Tony, glad you enjoyed the video, I don’t claim the idea as mine but pleased how effective it is! Cheers
That was quite informative never seen that done before.
Many thanks!
Interesting video my friend and great job with the backscenes. Nice layout too, thanks for sharing from a new subscriber. All the best, Paul
Thanks for watching and subbing, much appreciated.👍
It certainly looks effective, You made an excellent job of it, look forward to the next one.
Thanks for the kind comment, more of these to come, although they do take a while to make!
That looks great! It really makes a big difference.
Many thanks for the kind comment
Loved the effects ,, going to do this on my back scene when I am ready , amazing
Thanks, and sorry for the delayed reply!
Great job, the 3D effect really works well!
Thanks!
Oh you're a clever chap! Well done, very effective
Thanks!
Really nice work, looks fantastic 👍🏻
Pride Parkway cheers!
Hi, just discovered your channel and found your video very interesting. Will follow with great interest
Hi John welcome to the channel, I’ve been following yours since you build the original Piccadilly Roof, a long before I started my channel so it’s great to have you on board! Glad you enjoy the videos, thanks, Liam
Hi Liam. Your work on the backscene really helps to make it pop. 🚂🚃🚃🚃
Thanks!
Looks really effective, may give this a go myself!
Go for it, it does make a difference. I don't have the biggest layout so it shouldn't take too long to get round the rest of the buildings
@@deansburytownmodelrailway5056 I look forward to seeing it take shape. I quite fancy doing a low relief supermarket in a similar fashion to what you've done here
What a fantastic technique! I've just used the same backscene sheets as they came out of the tube, and they look so flat and uninteresting compared with yours. I feel some alterations coming on......
Hi Liam. Great job and I did a similar thing on my N Gauge layout. In terms of glue, I found 3M Spray Mount works best - no warping.
Thanks for the idea, I’ve used spray adhesive but I think I had the wrong stuff, it was quite stringy and patchy. It worked great for gluing my carpet tiles down but probably not the stuff for the finer work on the backscene! I’ll try the proper stuff next time.
@@deansburytownmodelrailway5056 Hi Liam, Mounting spray is designed to be used by artists and so is fine and does not damage paper. You can get the 3M variety in WH Smiths (expensive), B&M, Home Bargains etc. Some of the Pound shops sell an equivalent but I have not tried theirs.
@@paddycoleman1472 thanks that’s really helpful I definitely had the wrong stuff!
Great video! You have more patience than I do!
Cheers! A little bit of therapy!
@@deansburytownmodelrailway5056 how do you find Inkscape? I’m a complete novice with it but I think I could use it
Richmond North Yorkshire model railway I’m a novice as well, but many years ago was reasonably familiar with 2D CAD so fine with the basics. I have learnt most of what I know from watching Micheal at Chandwell N gauges excellent videos👍
Yes ! !! A lot of hard work but well worth the effort.. you can buy photographic backscenes....
Thanks!
This is a superb effect, Liam! Thank you for sharing. I think you've made it clear to me that I will definitely be using this technique at Chandwell. I think I will be making my own back layer too, but will desaturate the colours a little like on the Peco one you have. A couple of questions if you don't mind... I've never found a "corner pricking tool" that works for me, but yours looks exactly what I want. What is it called? I've tried many times to find something like it on eBay, but just don't know what to type in! :) And secondly... What did you use to get your camera above your head looking down on your mat? This is a great angle and one that I should try to do myself. Cheers! --Michael.
Hi Michael, thanks for the comments much appreciated. The tool is a normal pin vice with a small sewing needle. I’ve filled this down to make it less sharp and I also use this for scoring. I used a gorilla-pod type grip for the camera attached over the top of the adjacent backscene of the layout - still a work in progress to get that set up right and avoid filming my head!
Hi watched video with interest. You said buildings printed from Inkscape where do you get designs from ? And how easy is Inkscape to use. Thanks
Hi Derek, the designs I made myself and used Scalescenes.com brick papers for the coverings. Inkscape is reasonably easy to use if you a basic understanding of graphics or design software. It is free to download and use and there are loads of tutorials on you tube to cover the basics. For model building take a look at the channel Chandwell for some great intro videos. Thanks
👋🏼, great little video with the updated back scene. I only have one little issue really and that is the clouds, I noticed that the majority are triangular mountain shaped. Perhaps just varying them a little to round them off would look a bit more natural. If you get time check out Bob Ross paintings and you will find ways to do clouds very easily and they look awesome. I am a landscape artist initially and learnt most of it through Bob Ross. Keep up the awesome work. Subscribed 👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks for the feedback, I watched a few of his videos plus a few others before I did this to get the general technique. There are a couple of areas that I’d like to improve so will take that on board, many thanks
Great layout hope you like mine diesel dave's
Thanks, I will take a look. I have found since starting my own channel so many more channels I didn't know about, but I used to like watching other peoples channels while I modelled, but find this more difficult now I am trying to film my own work!! Cheers
thanks have subscribe to your channel@@deansburytownmodelrailway5056
