I have my weekend project lined up. Building a new backdrop. I got new poster paper today for the back plate. The scene is printed but still needs to be cut out, that’s a couple hours work right there. I have to take down the old back plate, as the backdrop on it is fading and is definately looking it’s age. The new back plate will have to be assembled and attached to the wall. This will be done with wood glue, as before, and the back plate will be held in place with thumb tacks until the glue dries. The seams will be covered with masking tape, then the whole thing will be painted Nimble Blue. After the paint is dry, the printed sections will be joined together and attached to the back plate with a thin layer of white glue and allowed to dry. The last touch will be to add some clouds .
Anyone?
Sounds like a good task to work on this weekend. Hope you can post some pics on weekend photo fun when it gets finished! Good luck!

Looking forward to some photos of it Jeff. I’ve always felt that the one you had was up with the best printed ones I’ve come across, and I reckon it would work very well in ground level scenic views.
Good luck with the new one.

These are pics with the present backdrop. The new backdrop will be very similar. Consider these as BEFORE photos.
Anybody else?
Jeffery,
I can’t wait to see the new backdrop… bet it is going to be boss. The old one already looks pretty sharp, I’m sure the new one will blow it out of the water… Your plan sounds well thought, at least to me. [;)]
Looking forward to seeing the new work! Get it up man! [:)]
Waiting with anticipation.
Peace.
