I keep looking for suitable photos on the net and sometimes take some myself for this very purpose. Then have them printed in a photo shop approx. 60 cm wide and 20 cm high (matt finish). Attach it to a panel using tack gum and off we go :)

Backgrounds for photographing model ships

All,

I've been mulling some better ways to photograph my finished builds. Many of you utilize "cloud" backgrounds for realism and I've yet to find a pattern or material that really hits me as being somewhat authentic. Some of the chain stores here carry "cloud" wrapping paper, but the print looks artificial. Scrapbook cloud patterns come in 12 x 12 sheets and simply don't meet up at the edges. Ideally, I'd like to find some sort of wallpaper/wrapping paper that I can glue to backboard, without breaks.

What's everybody using?
