Many years ago I bought a set of three sheets of heavy paper that had only blue sky and clouds printed on them, they were about 2 feet square. There wasn't any name on either the sheets nor the flat corrugated box they came in. Doesn't help you much does it? Walthers sell various paper backgrounds, some with a fair amount of sky and clouds. I've use the sheets made by Faller with limited success. The sky is too light for my taste, looking washed out when lighting a scene with photoflood lamps. One set is from European mountains I think, and is one meter high, with a fair amount of sky in it. Might be worth a look at their offerings either on line or in a catalog. You might check wallpapers - some designs have clouds and blue sky in them, normally on large photo scenes. I got tired of trying to have enough sky in my photos and painted one wall in my hobby room a dark blue and airbrushed on some clouds. After toning down the shine with some cans of Dullcoat spray, I'm fairly happy with the results. But not everyone has the luxury of have a whole wall to paint! There are some scenes on my website that show the results: http://www.geocities.com/fundynorthern/ Good luck! Bob Boudreau [:D]
