Hi Folks

Whilst trawling my local Modelzone for bargains I found an old railway modellers backdrop. This evening I tried out the effect...

it started like this..

I looked into these, but cripes most of them are insanely expensive...suppose I'll have to hope to run into some second hand ones.  lol

Wow that looks great Mr. The Shed. Especially in the shot with the cows in it. Quick flick down yr blog and you seem to have loads of nice scenery. Good job.  :D

That looks fantastic!
Great find!

I picked up a 12" square print of blue sky and clouds for 25 cents at Michael's from the scrap booking department to use as a backdrop for close ups. If I could find something like you have I would be a happy camper indeed!
