Well, after a couple days work, Wendy has completed the West end backdrop and is working around the loop. We have the sky with clouds, a distant ridge line as is typical in Pennsylvania and the closer back up to the trees that will be planted on the hill side.
As we look down you can see where she overlapped the white mist to blend everything together. We spoke about lightening up on the white mist as we went along as I did not want it to look like a frosty morning!
As we come around the loop the hills come down some as the backdrop is only 23 inches high. You can now really see the effect of the upper loop on the scene. When you are walking around, you do not notice this. The camera emphasizes the effect.
We are looking down the balance of the yard. You can see that the ridge drops out of sight and then re-emerges behind the trees.
The blue tape shows Wendy how high I would like the various components to be as she paints her way to Mook's Corner.
Wendy is happy she can now stand in the pit behind the station. She has put up the distant hill and the clouds going in the corner.
Looking back you can see the clouds. We have to add the near trees and they will be pretty big here as I drop down to cover the lower backdrop.
