Clever Trick Of Bending The Backdrop

Alan sent in this info about his layout to share. The photos are amazing!

Hard to believe but the bus is a photo stuck on the backscene.

“When it comes to roads cutting across the layout and abruptly hitting the backscene, I blend it in by attaching a piece of thin card or even paper the same width of the road, painting it the same color then bending it upwards so it rests on the backscene.  The road can then be extended by painting it disappearing into the distance. Hope this helps.”

In this case the Peco backscene had a road on it. Again the bus photo is glued on.
