Hey David thanks for the info!
Will you be attending Montreal Comicon Sept 17-18th?
Would love to see your stuff first hand.

Good luck tracking it down Gerardo... unfortunately I can't offer any leads.
Just wanted to post, saying that it looks really convincing and impressive. Not sure if it's the perspective element of the Tantive IV corridor leading away from the viewer's eye, but I don't usually rate 2D printed backdrops like this - but this is a good 'un!
I can see why you're interested in getting your hands on it - would look awesome as a backdrop for lifesize Star Wars mannequins like Darth Vader or Stormtroopers etc. :thumbsup
Good luck with tracking it down
Cheers,
John

It looks like a photorealistic rendering and not like a set photo, so chances are good to get an image at good resolution from a talented 3D artist

Sounds like a job for our current 3d jockey SteveStarkiller and his Sketchup+Indigo-skills like in this thread: http://www.therpf.com/f11/screen-accurate-millennium-falcon-cockpit-cg-model-102451/index19.html
I wish I had the time...

Nice back drop- was that Dragon Con?
That's very cool, I was considering offering backdrops on a smaller scale (most likely paper printed and block mounted) but would love to have a crack at something on a larger scale! I agree with Stormtrooper that 2D backdrops can sometimes be a bit jarring if the perspective is too forced etc. so think a CG approach would be the best bet.
I'm a digital environment artist for TV/Film so would feel comfortable that I could successfully recreate sets etc. at a high enough resolution and render quality and think it could be a great venture! I've been away from the RPF for a little while so feel a little rude barging in and asking questions but hopefully if we could get a reasonably priced solution out of it it would be okay?
I've had a look at some printing solutions like the fabric con banner, is this what you guys would prefer over something like a wall mural? Printing costs could be relatively similar however it looks like the frame for hanging/stretching a fabric banner could double the price. Sorry if this isn't the place for discussions like this but please feel free to PM me if anyone's interested.

Scott,
I would definetely be interested, it would be cool to print on something that can be framed or removeable, not permanent wall paper. would it be possible to custom print to fit the wall to exact size? Man I have so many ideas

This is what it looks like..... however since this is from a gent in the 501st I'm not sure if this constitutes bad form posting here. If your interested I'll try to contact the person and see if this is something he's ok with? I just want to cover all my basis. We use this exact backdrop on our troops and I think it's fantastic!
cheers!
cheers!
