Mosslanda: Defiance - blue sky…

I tend to avoid blue skies on model railways. They don’t really scale well or feel right to me; but the photos I was originally working from as well as the Google Street view have Defiance bathed in bright sunshine…And so my Defiance is now too… I’ve adjusted the colour temperature of the LEDs by using IPA to remove a few of my Tamiya clear blue filters from the LEDs and added a sky from the top of an old ID backscene I had in stock.State left I tried a view down the real road, but it didn’t look quite right. I found this neat vignette on another road nearby, looking across the throat of the main yard. I’ll cut out a neater one and stick it in place. I also have tried some other overlays… taken from Google Street view again of the plant and factory itself.Above, this also shows the original street scene on the left, which felt a touch too rural. The rooftop equipment might work but because of the street view photo and the vanishing point it needs some rework, or cutting. I’ll keep…
