Elias,

I don't know what your budget is but I think you'll be very impressed when you see the backdrops and backgrounds on the following. Click on:

www.backdropwarehouse.com/PRODUCTS.htm

Click on the box choices on the top. Some of these backdrops are affordable. Take your time in exploring this site!

You can also check out the Walther's catalog as there are companies listed that produce backdrops also.

Let us know what you think!

Cheers!

Check previous threads on this forum using the search engine. There is some excellent ideas and methods you can use to do your own backdrop, cheaply and good looks. Don't be intimidated by "I can't do that" the beauty of paint is that you can always paint over your mistakes!

I know as I speak with experience!

I like the Walther's "Instant Horizon" series..they can be glued directly to the layout as a complete backdrop or the buildings / backdrop features can be cut away from the skyline and glued to a pre existing backdrop..Chuck
