Thanks for the compliments, everyone. I know that Lance Mindheim suggests to not paint buildings on the backdrop, but I can't agree with him, at least in the case of an industrial shelf layout set at 58" AFF.
The trees and bushes are as in the following:
Andrew, I did some practice painting on a piece of masonite last night, will do some more practicing until I feel confident I can get the trees and vines right on the first try. I don't think it would look right to use small 3D trees and vines along the fence. Now, there will be a full scale 3D barbed wire fence with trees and weeds between the tracks and the backdrop.
Will get the trees painted in this weekend, then on to the next project - more backdrop painting, although this one will be a mix of backdrop and low relief structures.
