<p>Since all you are needing is a view block and not a to-the-ceiling backdrop you might even consider a height of 17 or 18 inches.</p><p>Model Mart has 17" high background scenes made by Backdrop Warehouse at good prices:</p><p><a href="http://modelmart.us/mall/mallR/aspfiles/shopsinmallframeref.asp?shopcode=07032301">http://modelmart.us/mall/mallR/aspfiles/shopsinmallframeref.asp?shopcode=07032301</a></p><p>Or you could go directly to Backdrop Warehouse and get one of their 18" high backdrops.</p><p><a href="http://backdropwarehouse.com/siteindex.htm">http://backdropwarehouse.com/siteindex.htm</a></p><p>(It takes some time to learn to navigate through this web site but it is worth it) </p><p>The Backdrop Warehouse prices are not cheap but their photo murals are first rate. My layout is about the same height as your father's. I purchased 36 running feet of the 18" high backdrop as the best compromise between cost and height. The top of my backdrop is at 72 inches and you never notice it when viewing the layout.</p><p>Good Luck,<br />-John</p>
