wooster Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) Can anyone point me in the direction of large posters or banners that could serve as a backdrop to a city layout? I would be happy to buy one, or if there are good instructions on how to create one yourself, I'd be interested in that too. The bare walls that currently serve as my backdrop look awful. I would love to have a backdrop similar to what you see on Lego City boxes (somewhat vague, non-descript, city skyline). Thanks! Edited January 26, 2019 by wooster spelling Quote
MrBrickMan Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 I bought a roll of this fadeless bulletin board paper a few years back (still haven't put it up). Quote
jimmynick Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) You can always paint your wall a sky blue and cover it with sponged-on clouds, then grey rectangles for buildings. @MrBrickMan has pointed out a good option, but you could also consider products for our model railroad brethren. A site such as Backdrop Warehouse (not an endorsement! Any other would do as well) has a variety of products, from city skylines to nature scenes, and even just clouds. If you go the model railroad route, you'll want a product designed for O scale. Edited January 27, 2019 by jamesn Quote
Roadmonkeytj Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 I've seen some guys take the box art (with the shaded buildings) plug them into Photoshop and it makes a really lovely "lego" backdrop. Quote
wooster Posted February 2, 2019 Author Posted February 2, 2019 Thanks everyone for all your suggestions! This gives me a great place to start exploring which idea works best for me. Quote
