We are the authorized vendor for Paul Scoles DVDs on EBay. This is a brand new, never opened DVD. Vol 1 of Advanced Scenery Techniques. Created by world famous model railroad photographer and model builder, Paul Scoles. This is the first of two volumes. Paul Scoles has written countless articles for the Gazette on making scenery and has finally made a DVD showing how he does it. And it is great.The video runs a little over 2 hours and you should really take the time toreally sit back and enjoy watching Paul at work. I have visited Paul andhis layout in the past but this new DVD gave me a lot of insight into theplanning and concept of Paul's layout as well as his very effective scenerytechniques.The video opens with a wonderful series of short clips of different portionsof Paul's layout. This helped to establish the general concept and scenerystyle that would be presented in the demonstrations.Paul's method of presenting the material is done without rushing the work.He is careful to explain each and every step along the way.Paul shows his method of rock casting, coloring, and blending natural rockmaterials into an effective hillside. Following the dirt and rocks, Paulshows us how he makes trees and undergrowth. He then proceeds to show usjust how to blend these elements for the most realistic effect.Ballasting track, making dusty roads, building up the scenery aroundstructures and other segments are also included.At the end of the video, Paul spends 15 minutes presenting a series of shortclips of his layout as the train progresses through the finished scenery.As we travel along the rails, Paul explains the concept he is presenting,how the scenery changes according to the local, how he makes the changes,and other features that gives you a great tour of his layout.I highly recommend this video for anyone who wants to improve his scenerytechniques. I found several techniques that Paul uses that made me think,"Why didn't I think of that?" And watching his slightly different methodsof doing some of the things I already do gave me some fresh ideas.I have a section on my layout that features a hillside that I finished yearsago but that I have never been completely satisfied with. I watched as Paultreated a similar area using his methods and realized his techniques wereexactly what I needed for that area of my layout. I will begin working onre-doing that portion tonight. And, following Paul's ideas, the work shouldbe done in a couple evenings.I enjoyed this video too because it helped me to know Paul a little betterand to appreciate his efforts more. Paul has a few interesting expressionshe uses such as "holidays". I never heard of holidays being used indiscussing rocks before.And finally, I appreciated Paul's video because I also make "how-to-do-it"videos. And this is certainly one I would proudly put my name on if it hadbeen me doing the work instead of Paul. You will really enjoy this great video from one of the master scenery builders.
