SP&S Shelf Layout

[mountaingoatgreg]

My backdrop is made from Masonite...can't remember the thickness but it is not important as long as it is some what flexable for curves. I then screwed it into 1x4 spacers on the wall...so the wall will be easily fixed if/when I move. I then sanded everything with a cheap sanding block to give it a little tooth. I then covered all my joints with joint tape and compound which I also used to cover all the screw holes. I then sanded eveything and repeated the joint compund, just like the walls of your house. I then made one more coat to give it that super finished feeling. After that was all dried I used white and super light blue working with three 4" brushes I would apply white on the bottom blue on the top and use the other brush to blend everything. I still have to decide what I am going to do to finish finish the backdrop. I will probably paint some mountains and use some photos to blend the scene togther.

Another thing...the benchwork in the middle is a Free-Mo module that I can remove and take to shows... This will also allow me to finish the backdrop without having to layover the layout.
