Scenic Backdrops (1 Viewer)

As much as I think the JG Backdrops look fine, my question is, are there any competitors for Backdrops, and what do you think of them? Particularly for 1:30 scale (not that it should matter that much I guess).

I also like to use google to look for photos of actual areas. If you can find pics that are of high quality, they do look good. Also you can mirror image them, print them off and then tape them all together.

Scott has the right idea...just google your topic...trees, rivers, skies, etc...

use the "image" tab...it's for pictures only...

you will find all you want...

by inverting the picture (reversing it)...and taping the seams together...you can make a 2 foot section for free.

Indeed, I may try that... I think alot will have to do with the paper quality, and printer as well... if you can get the use of a "professional" printer that will print very large paper sizes in HQ color that would help as well...
