I found this flat background on the web and made some minor modifications to it before printing it out and gluing it to a box. I thought it would be cool to put Ms. Ruby's boarded up business under my railway tracks. I've parked an old Hot Wheels 1940s Ford pickup beater and a rusty Johnny Lightning 1970 Plymouth Superbird in front of the store. Both of the cars scale well to the store which I set at 2.5 inches high and 5 inches wide. Whoever did this originally did a nice job on the plywood. I forgot to make a more cruddy foreground with lots of litter, junk and tires. Oh well, next time.
Any way you could make those storefronts bigger and printable to where they'll work with larger-scale castings if sized right? Possibly make a thread for it on the diorama board at Swifty's once they reopen.
