I got screwed both places. Library wouldn’t let me change the paper on their printers and Fed Ex wouldn’t do it because of copyright. I hope someone put similar sticker on eBay for us to buy.

You would just need:

1) Inkjet printer compatible sticker sheets, like the Epson ones in Scott's photo.
https://www.amazon.com/Epson-Quality-Se ... 159&sr=8-7

2) The PDF file that Scott made available (it's sized to the correct size and ready to print)

3) ...Access to a printer! Local libraries often have printer services available if you don't have an immediate friend or family member who can help you out.
That’s the paper I need...for some other projects.

Holy Upgrades! Thanks again to Scott for the graphic work that takes this play set to a whole other level.

I know i've said it multiple times, but the movie (and my heavily worn out VHS copy) meant the world to me growing up, so to have a United Underworld diorama in my collection has put a genuine smile on my face, as did creating some reminiscent scenes for these quick iPhone photos...

So, how did you manage to get the background printed and did you use a self adhesive paper?

I fluked it with making a sign for "METALLIC CONFETTI" in Pages on my Mac, published as a PDF, and sent to my inkjet printer. Just some random sizes of font and one was perfect. By the way, I gave Catwoman some gold claws, too.

My printer insisted on adding some horizontal lines to the logo as it printed. This is just on regular paper at the moment. Not glued down.

The lines almost make it look like the brick work continues behind the painted sign. Kind of gives it a cool effect.

Yes, my printer only does that when the image is scanned at a high resolution, but it was in interesting accident.
