| WPLives 30th Jul 2021 | Modeling Cities & Towns Cities and towns are densely packed areas great for getting a lot of operation and detail into your layout. But fitting all this action into the space most modelers have requires some tricks and techniques, and this book will explain them in a clear and concise manner so you can get moving on your model railroading projects. Jeff Wilson has chapters on how streets and railroad tracks fit into the mix with an emphasis on details. He also tells you all you need to know to fit large structures and industries into limited space. If you like building structures and detailing scenes, Modeling Cities and Towns is the book you need to plan and build your layout. City and Town Design & Evolution The key to realistically modeling large urban areas and towns is to use prototype examples as guides, and to understand how towns and railroads grew around each other and what real railroads and city planners needed and wanted. City Streets & Street Trackage When modeling cities and towns, it’s difficult to understate the importance of realistic streets and roads. Color, texture, and details are important, along with the street plan itself. In addition, tracks in streets were extremely common through the mid-1900s and can still be found, and these can be the focal point of a modeled scene. Urban modeling offers myriad opportunities to use signs and other details. However, creating a realistic setting involves more than just placing random details into a scene. Detailing must be done in a prototypical fashion, with thought to what’s appropriate for specific cities and regions, along with the proper eras for the signs and details being used. Filled with tons of information and inspiration that you can use today, Modeling Cities and Towns is your guide to making your layout more realistic! No matter your layout size, you'll find inside a wide variety of topics including modifying and kitbashing structures; creating realistic, era-appropriate signs; combining multiple scenic elements in tight spaces; building track in streets; and realistically modeling streets and sidewalks. Prototype information include operations; large city passenger stations; and many examples of how real railroads wound through tight urban industrial areas. Modeling Cities and Towns is perfect for any modeler planning, building or improving a layout. | |
