John Parkinson is a self-confessed 'scenery nut'. While for many
people the tracks and trains are the most important element of a
model railway layout, John revels in creating the scenic
environment, which is complemented by the trains running through
it. With all his layouts, his aim is to make a scene that gels,
that looks like a composite whole, and has atmosphere. He is quick
to stress that his is not the only, or necessarily the best, way to
approach scenic modelling. He demonstrates that advanced,
difficult-to-obtain skills are not needed - just practice and an
urge to be creative, to develop a threedimensional representation
of a particular scene, particularly in the smaller scales, where
layouts can be more easily and quickly completed. In his personal,
informal narrative, he describes how he has developed his modelling
skills, and shares the techniques he has used for almost 30 years
for his many popular exhibition layouts. Covering natural terrain,
foliage, water, buildings, bridges, tunnels and the like to
detailing and finishing touches, this book will inspire and
instruct in equal measure.
