Thanks Federico for all your helpfull tips.

Ok, the boxes with the wood decal really looks great, so indeed your goal is achieved.
I am wondering, where do we stop with this style?

We have already sheets of fake wall pattern (brick and so on), fake ground covers, next will be complete doors made of decals, whole interiors glued to the backside of a wall to simulate anentire room (forced perspective), a decal glued on the outer wall to simulate a window....you see my point.

There should still be some handwork involved in this hobby after all!

Ok, everybody does what he likes in the end, but his crossed my mind and i wanted it out
