[quote user="jacon12"] <p>Are you looking to do something like I did here?</p><p><a href="/TRC/CS/forums/1246385/ShowPost.aspx">http://www.trains.com/TRC/CS/forums/1246385/ShowPost.aspx</a></p><p>The paint is from Sherwin Williams and it's called Universe Blue. It's a bit deeper than is sometimes used on backdrops and that's fine if you're going to use cloud templates for you r clouds. It's easy to do, you just need to practice a little before doing them on the real thing. Well, on second thought.. if you screw up just paint over them with the blue, let it dry and you're good to go again. I never thought backdrops could be such a huge subject but there are many ways to do them, running from my simple one to what some of our resident artists turn out. If you choose the spray can route be sure to 'overspray' the bottom area a little to get more of a feeling of depth. It's easy, come on and jump in!</p><p>JaRRell</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Your backdrop looks good. I`ll try to do it like yours with the masonite.</p>
