Modules: Scenery

Release

Recommendations:

  1. Scenery of the late summer and preferably, foodhills.
  2. Keep the thickness of the scenery's skin very low at the module's ends.

The scenery is the "food for the eyes", therefore, an arrangement of modules should looks quite uniform. Because we are talking about "Standard Gauge Europe", the suggestions for the design are restricted to the necessary minimum.

Concerning the season, the design should be conform to the late summertime in the foodhills or low mountain range of Central Europe, that is green meadows, leafy trees, harvested fields. Research groups may design themes, different in region and season.

The transition between modules should be designed as inconspicuous as possible, to avoid optical breaks in the scenery. Therefore, the skin of the scenery at the module's ends should be kept thin. Furthermore, it has proved to paint the upper part of the module's ends in a color similar to the scenery. Small edges regresses that way.

Roads, ditches or such structures should never run over the module's ends. How does it look like, if our own lane ends in the pond of the neighbor's module? If you design a closed group of segments then, of course, everybody can create his/her own transitions.
