I wanted to share with you how I integrate home computer-printed photos into painted background panels on my bedroom-size On30 narrow gauge layout. With simple materials and cheap craft paints, you can blend these photos into the background to create interest and depth to your scenes.

Google Street view images can be a valuable source for this type of work. However, I have found you need to be careful to ensure the orientation of the photo aligns with the most likely viewing angle of the layout.

I have used the street view images for my HO scale Hawaiian Island theme layout before with great results!!!

@JimRohrbach-kw2fe 4 месяца назад

It looks like you're using 11"X17" paper for the images, correct? Thanks and great work!

@mosquitocreeklumberco.7983 3 месяца назад

Yes sir!

Boomer diorama is masterpiece, Ive been following him since his glover rd.. How did you resize the photo to make it ho scale worthy?? Thanks!

@mosquitocreeklumberco.7983 4 месяца назад

I’m guessing you mean the background photo. Well since scenery isn’t a precise scale, I used the old trial and error method for sizing until it looked “right” on the background. Thanks for your comments and for watching the channel!!!!

@Railfan-gp40-2 4 месяца назад

@@mosquitocreeklumberco.7983 Thanks! Your layout looks great sir, On30 is a cool genre of the hobby for sure.

Honestly, I'm with you with blending the blue on to the print but not painting over the print. For me to use a photo realistic background I do not see painting it over as you show here. The way it looks at the end is like if you have painted the whole thing, not as a realistic as the photo.

@loreng.tindall1151 Месяц назад

Two ideas, with the caveat that I haven't tried either (yet): (1) Maybe seal the photo with something like matte spray before applying to the backdrop? (2) Use a gloss or semi-gloss paper? Once the ink is dry, they might not bleed as much; if the photo is too shiny once it's in place, knock the shine down with some matte medium or spray.
