Thus thread has been fun and expensive!
Really lije the look of the background of the carrier’s “island”
Dies anyone produce this image and maybe a wider version to cover a wider dispkay?
Thanjs in advance and...
Keep up the great work!
Hello Egonzinc,
Are you referring to the photograph of the Carrier's "Island" that Mike shows in his photos?
If yes, then you should be able to do a search and get some photos or reference a book on the USS Bunker Hill. She was one of 24 US Carriers of the Essex Class built during WWII. So a search on "Essex Class Carriers" should produce the photo you want. As me said, when you find a photo you (SHOULD) be able to go to a print store and have them expand and reproduce it to cover a much wider area of a diorama.
I am not sure in Puerto Rico what options are available. Another option is to make a USS Carrier Island out of cardboard, balsa wood, plastic or something similar. That is my goal, but I don't know how how hard that will be .. yet.:rolleyes2:
In addition there are many Graphic Print web sites that offer a huge variety of backdrops that can simply be downloaded and run off on a printer.
See:
www.GreatBigCanvas.com for only example. Another is
www.wallpaperswide.com
Many downloads are free, but a few only cost a few dollars.
As Moe mentioned, TreeFrog has a nasty limit on the image size that can be uploaded onto its servers, so trying to photograph a HUGE image might be a bit tricky.
Hope this helps.

PS: I just Googled "Essex Class Island" and found 1000's of images that can be used as a reference. Some are very detailed and (may) be able to to used right off the printer ...
