Hi,

I'm creating a murder scene for my book, and this scene is where a body falls out of a theatrical box (at a pub that was converted from a theatre) onto a table below.

I'm just wondering if there are any free backdrops for the stage that I can use - I particularly want a country house type backdrop - hopefully a library - you know Miss Marple, or cluedo, with oak panelling, lots of books and a massive hearth with a coat of arms above it?

My story is based in a real location - and that's what's there, but I'm too far away to nip in a photograph the place and all my searches online have at best come up with 1 single shot at a bad angle only showing part of it and most of it too grainy and too dark and with the top level totally cut off.

So I need to recreate it somehow.

The reason being that I've had to ask a lot of questions of people in trying to solve how I'll write up the murderer's alibi - and I'm almost there, having now modelled the springboard contraption and a teasmaid to set the thing off as well as most of the interior of the building. (although I might have to use 2 phones instead).

But it seems that every time I need to ask a question things would be so much simpler if I could only show people what I'm talking about - thus the model.  But it's looking so bare compared to the actual place, that it would be easier if it looked a bit more like the real place - thus the backdrop question.

I include a pic of the scene inside the pub so far:

That light back wall in this image is the stage below the box - where I need the scene/backdrop of the Library in a Country House.

Can anyone help?

tried the free opera house at DAZ 3d? it's in the old free section wich i think might be better to just google rather than find at the daz site.

sorry re read your post. forget mine! sorry again. lol

Darn!  And I thought someone had found one when I saw the ebot.

It's beginning to look like I'll have to model a library wall... sigh.

If you end up having to model it Fran, let me know. I'll help you model them if you want.

Thanks Myrtha,

I may take you up on that. (email in the aether)

Got it!! And answered.
