wooster Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) Can anyone point me in the direction of large posters or banners that could serve as a backdrop to a city layout? I would be happy to buy one, or if there are good instructions on how to create one yourself, I'd be interested in that too. The bare walls that currently serve as my backdrop look awful. I would love to have a backdrop similar to what you see on Lego City boxes (somewhat vague, non-descript, city skyline). Thanks!

MrBrickMan Posted January 27, 2019 I bought a roll of this fadeless bulletin board paper a few years back (still haven't put it up). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmynick Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) You can always paint your wall a sky blue and cover it with sponged-on clouds, then grey rectangles for buildings. @MrBrickMan has pointed out a good option, but you could also consider products for our model railroad brethren. A site such as Backdrop Warehouse (not an endorsement! Any other would do as well) has a variety of products, from city skylines to nature scenes, and even just clouds. If you go the model railroad route, you'll want a product designed for O scale. Edited January 27, 2019 by jamesn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roadmonkeytj Posted February 2, 2019 I've seen some guys take the box art (with the shaded buildings) plug them into Photoshop and it makes a really lovely "lego" backdrop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
