Hi!
This video show how to assemble the board and glue the backdrop photo paper to the board.
No wrinkles, no bubbles, curved corners.

Hello,
And thank you for the tutorial! I will be buying a background hopefully tomorrow from my nearby hobby shop so this will be very useful.
Thanks
Matthew

Again an excellent post, Martin!

I wish I had access to your video when I was doing my backdrops years ago. I had SO MANY bad experiences with wrinkles and bubbles, that I decided to spray-paint blue sky and clouds directly onto the wall of my current layout.
I used hills and mountains cut-outs from the traditional bakground-sections in order to at least insert SOME variation to the background.
The painting comes in as an economical solution, when one needs around 24 meters of it... ;-)
Best regards

I'm already planning to watch with my morning coffee over the weekend. Good timing. I'm just at the stage of painting my train room - the walls will be a sky blue that matches the blue in photos and from printers I've got. So when I master the glue down, I can then have my backdrops plotted on long paper and not have to paint backdrops on the actual walls.. and get near seamless sky.
Toys of tin and wood rule!
