Bauen wie Brandl Teil 2 (Building like Brandl Part 2) 140 Pictures
While the first part discussing the craftsmanship of Josef Brandl dealt with planning, bench work, tracks and the basic construction of the scenery, this second part describes in detail how the scenic details are added. It looks at powders for simulating vegetation and at various types of ground covers. The best use of electrostatic applicators and grass mats is described, and criteria for selecting the right trees and creating forests are given.
The publication discusses how to create realistic rocks, creeks and lakes, and shows how to embed buildings into the scenery. A highlight of every layout created by Brandl is the realistic scenery made of grasses, ground covers, shrubs and flowering plants. Finally, Germany’s top-layout designer shows some of the tricks he uses to create such realistic and lively scenes again and again on all of his designs.
