Backdrop tweaks
My first attempt at including a backdrop in what I call the "Essex Junction alcove" (You can see the approximate position of the Essex Junction shed with the mockup on the left) utilized a curved piece of Masonite attached to the wall and forming a constant radius curve in front of the support post and joining the peninsula backdrop.
I didn�t like the way the curved section of backdrop looked � besides it would have made an awkward scene with the wye trackage. I also (for once) wisely decided to do something about it before laying track in this area. It would have been difficult to do this work with track in place � and virtually impossible with scenery!
So I removed the last backdrop section, cut a panel of Masonite to fit between the end of the existing backdrop and the support post, and blended the joint smooth. I�ll paint the post sky blue so it will look like part of the backdrop.
Removing the backdrop section meant the backside of another section of backdrop was visible. I framed up some supports and used some Masonite to fill the area between the support post and the wall. When this is all painted sky blue I think it will fade away from view � something that all backdrops should do!
As an aside, I'm really, really pleased with the fascia color!
