Clinics "How to do realistic landscaping" by Pelle Soeborg, Denmark
All photos taken during the 3rd German US-Convention in Rodgau (Frankfurt) on October 16, 2011.

Pelle Soeborg is our Special Guest for the 15th Convention

Wir haben es geschafft, der Meister für realistischen Landschaftsbau kommt definitiv an die 15th CV. Wir sind sehr stolz, diesen Experten präsentieren zu dürfen. Viele Modelleisenbahner kennen Pelle Soeborg von seiner ersten Anlage: Daneville & Donner River. Er baut die heutige Epoche, was man eher selten sieht. Sein Freund, Per Laursen (Summit USA) produzierte kundenspeziefische Gebäude für seine Anlage. In der Zwischenzeit führt Summit USA eine Linie mit modernen Gebäudekits. Pelle hat auch schon einige Bücher publiziert: Mountain to Desert - Daneville & Donner River, Done in a Day, Scenery Techniques vertrieben durch Kalmbach Publishing. Sein neustes Buch "Rebuilding a Layout from A-Z" ist im Mai 2012 erschienen.
Diese Clinics werden an einem Diorama gezeigt. (Wir bedanken uns bei Kim Nipkow, der dieses Diorama im Rohbau für Pelle erstellt.)
Selbstverständlich können Sie Fragen stellen. Der "Meister" gibt ihnen gerne Auskunft.
Bitte beachten: Diese Clinic wird in englischer Sprache präsentiert.

The first time ever, the master of modern layout building with realistic landscaping will be coming to Switzerland. No question, we are very proud to have such an expert for our 15th Convention. Many model railroaders are familiar with his first layout: Daneville & Donner River. He is modeling the modern era which is actually not often seen. His friend, Per Laursen of Summit USA, produced custom made buildings for his layout. Summit USA is having a line of modern building kits. Pelle did already publish several books like: Mountain to Desert - Daneville & Donner River, Done in a Day, Scenery Techniques through Kalmbach Publishing. His new book "Rebuilding a Layout from A-Z" was published in May 2012.
These clinics will be done on a diorama as he did during the 3rd German US-Convention.Of course, people may ask questions as much as they want.
Please note: This clinic will be held in English.

Pelle Soeborg präsentiert auch Clinics zum Thema "Weathering"

So hat das Diorama am Sonntag um 15.00 h ausgesehen. Pelle Soeborg hat am Samstag Morgen diese beiden Module im Rohbau inkl. Gleisen übernommen. Dann wurden am Samstag 2 Clinics und am Sonntag 1 Clinic zu 2 Std. gemacht. Jetzt sehen wir den Meister an der Arbeit mit der letzten Clinic.
The photos above show the diorama on Sunday at 3 p.m. Pelle Soeborg took over these two modules on Saturday morning without landscaping. Of course the tracks were mounted and the styrofoam was in place. So, he made 2 clincis on Saturday and so far 1 clinic on Sunday, each 2 hrs. Now, we will see Pelle in action with his last clinic.
