John,

I had a phonecall from Faust today telling me that he will be offline for a few days because his computer has gotten that new worm virus.

I don't know where his wallpaper came from but here are a few sourses

If you use Google and type dollhouse wallpaper then you get about 5900 hits, something that you like must be there

Have fun

Hey Pnzr-Cmdr. You can easily make your own wallpaper. Go into word and make a simple wallpaper using lines and dots of your preffered colour. If you want designs, you should be able to reduce a suitable "gif" and tile it all over. At this scale and heavily weathered in a bombed out house... it would be perfect. Paste it on using white glue!

I buy scale wallpaper (usually 1:48th scale) at my local dollhouse... they have a HUGE selection of 6 x 9 sheets of the stuff including every kind of pattern and period you can think of, for about a dollar a sheet. It is far superior to anything I have ever printed myself using a color laser printer. Look up doll-house suppliers in the phone book. The place I go in Dallas is called "Through the Keyhole", and is located near Forrest and Preston Rd. They also have a great selection of scale add-ins like white metal pots and pans, mugs, clocks, and that sort of thing, all in a variety of scales that easily meld in with 1:35 use.
