There was a vendor that used to advertize in the OGR Magazine his scenery backdrops and he had mountains, Skies and cityscape's. He is not advertising in the current magazine. Does anyone know the vendor and is he still in business. Looking to backdrop about a 25' area with city sky lines.
help greatly appreciated

Look in the Scenery Sourcelist for a few choices, plus one can make your own.
I tried 3 times to order from Backdrop Warehouse, 5 complete 3' x 12' backdrops,
the guy had some great scenes. I waited 6 weeks for a response on first order, never got one or return phone call. A year later I tried again, repeated order, got a call 3 weeks later there was a problem with my credit card, there was and it was fixed with 1 call to my CC company, but I guy refused to run same card again? Wanted me to send $1500 or so cash to him via mail, I did not. Another year later tried to order just one scene on sight and transaction would not go through.
My advice, beautiful scenes, weird dude, beware!

I recommend backdrops made by Trackside Scenery. Their website is http://www.tracksidescenery.com. They are a little pricier, but EXCELLENT quality. Joey Ricard is the owner and helped me to customize a backdrop to cover about 22 feet of wall space. I'm very pleased with the results and best of all it's scale. He printed and shipped them very quickly. I'll try to post pictures soon.

I saw amazing backdrops on two layouts this weekend that were made by Sceniking. There are listed in "The Scenery Sourcelist". Both guys loved them for all kinds of reasons; lots of choices, various ways to connects them ease of installing, etc.

The following are pictures that includes an Appalachian mountain backdrop. I was having difficulty with the camera's autofocus at times taking the pictures. The backdrop includes "The Woods" and "Mountain Farm" from Trackside Scenery. I selected the 18" height because I trimmed away the existing sky from the mountain background and created my own sky that transitioned into the existing wall color. I pasted it to homasote board for portability purposes and screwed it into the wall.
