BIG JERR

very nice Mottley, how bout a "back a room shot" to see the hole pict.

If you notice, BIG JERR, Michael ignored your request for a back room shot.   Crying

That's because Michael has a split personality.   Whisper

He spends all of his time and money on the main room and ignores the back room.    Zzz

He does that to torment me since I know what he eventually plans to do in that back room and he just won't get to it.  I can only tell you that if and when he ever gets to work back there, it will be extremely cool, even cooler than the main room.    But, he just won't get to it.   Bang Head

Thanks everybody! I'm happy with it, much better than the cornfield backdrop, never really like it that much anyways.

I used double side tape. The reason there are no wrinkles, is the paper is very heavy. My old backdrop had thinner paper and had wrinkles in it.

Yes the trackwork is being redone here. New river, new bridges, etc. Still a lot left to do before this is all complete and scenery done.

Here is the overall view.....

Hello very nice. I have not been hanging out here much. Been working on the house so you may have covered this. It looks like are moving stuff around ? I see track missing and line's drawn through your road. But the backdrop is cool are they your photos' or did you pick from there's. Have a nice day Frank
