I was able to spend most of Saturday immersed in the railroad and made great progress on a few different projects. The most visible one was to paint the sky onto the backdrop. I chose a color called ‘Summer Splash’ in the Valspar brand of paint from Lowes. The code was 5002-9C. I deliberately chose a deep blue so that it would photograph well and not wash out.

I did try to blend white in the lower 1/4 of the backdrop. I am uncertain if I am happy with it or not. On one hand it is subtle enough to not get in the way but on the other I don’t think I did enough. I’ll let it simmer for a couple of days before deciding to make another go at it or not.

Here is a photograph:

I need to spend some more time on photography. Not sure where the spots come from.
