Battle Two.
The backdrop was hand-painted by me.
ReplyDeleteThe background is great,can you tell us a little about it?
ReplyDeleteI am an art teacher and I paint a lot with Crayola Watercolor sets. This landscape scenic was done by me years ago on sulphite drawing paper and then I rubber cemented it to foam core. I used it at the time of creation to backdrop my ACW sets on my game room shelf. It is something that is usually always laying about so I used it to hide the clutter of my art room in the photos.
ReplyDeleteI'll second Alan...the games are great, but the backdrop is fantastic!
