A break from the day job

I’ve taken out a couple of days to get this blog going, and to explore ideas for the layout. I used Generate a Panorama (see Reference Sites) to try out various viewpoints as the basis for a backscene.


Trial "Panorama" for St Donats

The signpost on the left shows the position of St Donats castle in the foreground on the Welsh side of the Bristol Channel, while the right signpost shows the summit of Selworthy Beacon on the hill overlooking the sea between Minehead and Porlock Weir.

I’m not sure whether to separate the foreground, up to the sea, from the background, or whether to model the whole layout as a single, continuous unit. The model height of the background, or backscene as it will become, will depend on the viewing height of the model.
