I'm quite proud of how this is turning out, and I'm quite confident that the entire backdrop will turn out well. It really does look super in person.
Now, what I am not confident with is doing the bushes and trees along the treeline. Reason is, it has to come out right the first time. No do-overs on this without a major redo of alot of the buildings.

Is there space for you to do some model trees in front of the buildings, rather than painting them on over the backdrop? Or what about sealing the buildings first, and then painting the trees? That might make it more forgiving in that you might be able to wipe off any major mistakes (not that you make them
) before they dry? Or even painting the trees on a clear layer of some sort (do they make "matte" plastic sheets?)?Andrew
