Hi! I'm having trouble with my backgrounds-- I've tried different things and they seem to wrinkle or crease. I'm wondering what you do for backgrounds or what you suggest. I'm thinking of something that is like a sky behind my set.
Thanks!
I am lucky to have a room with a bluish wall. I use this for my background. In fact, the wall's the only non-Lego thing I allow in my series, except blue sticky tacky stuff, but I try not to expose that. I have also a baseplate from an old Homemaker set (Kitchen, Lego set #269, 1979). Try a large posterboard or if you can find it, a large enough poiece of felt.
Thanks for those ideas. I don't have a wall in my room that I can use. I have tried posterboard, but it seems to always wrinkle after a while-- do you attach yours to something stiffer? Maybe I'll try felt... what do you hang it on?
Thanks for the ideas and keep them coming!
Well I use blue card some of the time but most of the time I drape a blue blanket down my wall cos this will get a pretty widespread skyline, so if you have any blue blankets or bed sheets, use them.
how fare away do you hang it.
Centremetres from the end of the set.
Oh how do get you the wrinkles out.
