Could you explain/show how you printed the background and mounted the models?
Guess I should clarify that I’m not responsible for the boards. I bought those from a company that clearly doesn’t care about trademarks. I don’t think I could even pay a printing company for designs like these because of the logos and the such. They are quite nice though. Printed plexiglass(or similar) with a foam backer board in aluminum picture frame. Think the light up posters at movie theaters. So some kind of specialized printing equipment that I don’t have.
These aren’t lit but they could be with some work on my part. I’ve been toying with the idea. Get a diffuser sheet and replace the foam backer board with it and mount some LEDs. That’s all stuff I’m actually comfortable with.
The cars are mounted on hooks that screw through the plexiglass/foam board. So you can lift them off pretty if you want. You can actually buy the hooks on like Amazon so nothing too special there. So you could design your own boards with whatever material you wanted. I just don’t have that kind of time. It took plenty with a laser level just to get these hung. Ladders required as that wall is about 13 feet tall and is the landing of a U shaped staircase.
