How to paint a scenery background for a slot car or model railway layout

I’ve been asked how I painted my background scenery on my layout so that means…. Yes you guessed it a KZbin tutorial! #slotcars #scalextric #slotcarsareback #modelrailway #howtopaintscenery

I was hoping you'd make a video about this - thank you! I really like your honest and straightforward approach - no magic cuts and "here's one I made earlier". The result looks fantastic and I'll definitely be following these tips when I get around to making my backdrop. Thanks again Lee.

@@ModelNerd thanks buddy, I need to add more detail but you get the general idea!

Absolutely brilliant job Lee, I absolutely loved how you explained every step in detail that your average Joe Blow could understand. The painting looks amazing, your depth of field is outstanding. I look forward to trying out your methods for our track.

Hey Lee, don't sell yourself short. You may not have the "special" tools or "special equipment" to paint your backdrops. What you do have is a natural talent for painting and an eye for art. Make no mistake my friend you are a talented artist. You are "Special" my friend and I wouldn't want you any other way. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and artistry. Good on ya mate! 😁

@@boykinater hey thank you so much, that really means a lot to me, I just enjoy the creative side. Might try doing some oil painting pictures

Great one Lee, bought back some childhood memories when I was watching Bob Ross

This is a great tutorial Lee, amazing ❤ thanks for sharing this!

Bloody brilliant 👏. And that's from someone who went to art college and has had a 30yr career as a graphic designer. I don't paint much now though. When I saw your backdrop I thought Bob Ross. When I saw your style and method I thought Bob Ross. Anyone would think you studied under him! That's a great result and well explained in a simple to follow guide. All I can add is "happy little clouds".
