yeah,
I'm looking for somewhere to buy terrain backdrops/background/screen for my terrain.
So when I photograph stuff you guys don't see my flat in the background!
'this battle reports being fought on Planet Panic's Flat?'

So yeah I'm looking for big 6' long Images of hills and sky... wastlands that kind of thing.
To help improve the story aspect of the photos.

The only thing i can think of is the backgrounds you can buy for fish tanks......
Has anyone got any ideas of where I should be looking/buying?

Panic...

You might try a fabric store. They usually have all kinds of prints that might work. At the very minimum you can pick up something that would make a nice blue sky and paint some clouds on it.

EDIT:
OK I had another brainstorm. Don't know how comfortable you are with image manipulation, but another option would be to green screen it. Take the photo of the table against a blue or green background and then replace the background with a stock photo. You might check out http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/index.html for images.

Thats a good idea. Or try walmart, they have a pretty big crafty section over here anyways.
Me personally, I like the planet panics flat. The terrain is AWESOME. You just cant find GIANT chairs and tables on planets anymore

Try a good pet store. Often times in the aquarium/terrarium section they have rolls of background imagery. Never bought any myself, but I have seen deset, jungle, all manner of things. You should also be able to get really long lengths, since larger, more expensive aquariums are often a few feet deep and can be 6 feet long.

If there's a store in your area that sell model railroad stuff, that would be a good place to look. They frequently have backdrops for use on walls (for those train layouts that go in the corner of a room or against a wall). They also often have just big books of pictures for reference.
