In this video I show how I made it look like a road doesn't just stop when it hits the layout's backscene, and instead looks like it gently curves away to the right between buildings of a city street.
Bridge Lane in Chandwell crosses the scratch-built 13th century river bridge before diving under the scratch-built skew arch and hitting the N-Gauge model backscene at almost 90 degrees.
The road was scratch built from card, and the buildings were printed using a forced-perspective technique to make it look like the road takes much more than just 5 centimetres to complete its curve.
I also show how I made a layered 3D-ish backscene for the road to vanish into. This was greatly inspired by the technique that John Warner demonstrated in his forced-perspective backscene video which he showed on his channel, Piccadilly, recently. John's layout is spectacular, so please check it out if you have never done so: / @piccadillymodelrailways
This video shows how I made my N Gauge model road seamlessly disappear into the layout's backscene in six parts:
00:00 Introduction
01:15 Layered Backscene
03:41 Road Surface
05:26 Add the end curve
07:47 Forced-perspective buildings
09:43 Putting it all together
