Model Making Quick Tip | Layout Lighting

Let's go behind the scenes to see how the lighting is set up on the On30 Thunder Mesa layout. I use a combination of directional track lighting and LED strip lighting to keep the layout looking its best for both photos and in person! This video is more of a "why-to" than a "how-to," with thoughts on lighting for dramatic and thematic effect and why it's so important to pick a light direction and time of day for your scenes.

Thanks for watching, amigos!
