WOOHOO! Good weather = time to build

Kevin, with 170 feet of backdrop, that's alot of printing... would have to splice in many places. Of course, would try to put the splices behind buildings and trees. Also, what about the tops of the prints? Cut out around the trees and buildings and use the painted blue of the walls as the sky? There's 36 inches of vertical wall above the layout. I haven't been a fan of photo backdrops, although I have never tried to use them.

They have printers that print on 48" wide rolls of paper up to 96 inches long. I use one at work for printing maps and such, but I've also had to have some stuff printed at Kinkos. My thoughts were to use photos where you need details, and then just a tree/sky backdrop for the rural areas. The reason I say this, is that distant hills, trees, and sky can be relatively easily painted, but more detailed things like trucks and dumpsters could be quite tedious.
