blinds anyone?

I was looking around for blinds artwork.  I couldn't find any readily available so I made my own.

If anyone is interested, it's a corel file.  With closed blinds, and blinds that are pulled up a bit.   Yeah, I know I can't spell ;)

Very nice--I like the way you remembered to change the spacing on the partially-pulled-up versions.

I did my own for my GN BSB consist...

Here's a car with blinds...



and here's the blinds file shot.......



I snitched an image from a blinds store on line web site and printed them... you could print them on clear plastic too I guess.....
Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!

I added a JPG just now:

http://www.diezfamily.us/images/boards/venecian_blinds_Nscale_DPM.jpg

it's a full 8.5 x 11  so if you print with fit to page you should be good.  Oh, and they're essentially made to fit a single DPM window...
