Question about ordering from this ebay site

Just wondering if any of you have placed and order with this seller in France, https://www.ebay.com/itm/G-gauge-1-24-scale-Multi-color-brick-paper-A4-sheet/291948692401?_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131231084308%26meid%3D6b165d59c7e5467bbbcf7e72db97b0f4%26pid%3D100010%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D291957445920%26itm%3D291948692401%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DDefaultOrganicWithAblationExplorer%26brand%3DUnbranded&_trksid=p2047675.c100010.m2109 Wow, France is a long way, I guess that why the address is so long. Also does anyone know of a U.S. seller for this product, I’m looking for brick prints for my G scale backdrop buildings that I will be building, thanks.

To quote John Pinette, I say, Nay! Nay!

I tried this stuff once a long time ago, and, almost as bad, there’s a few guys, one especially, who sells stuff that’s supposedly “embossed.” In my opinion, completely useless, looks bad, like junk, in my opinion. I ended up throwing the stuff out.

I think you’d be much better off printing them out yourself, or buying the “brick” plastic sheets…they’re cheap. If you don’t feel easy painting the brick sheet, send 'em to me and I’ll paint them for you and send them back. Maybe we’ll end up trading for something some day!

Thanks John, I sort of let the Evergreen Plastic sheets slip my mind, yes I can paint them and weather as needed, thanks for the offer to paint them. trainman

John, allow me to add to my somewhat (!) opinionated comments above.

I have two words for you: UV Ink.

If you decide to print everything, take your file to a copy shop and have them print on brilliant white card stock in UV ink. It’s worth whatever it costs. Outdoors, the stuff you’re seeing on the internet will fade in weeks, and indoors, like your layout, I swear it will fade in months just under normal indoor light. Then of course you’ll have to replace everything and being swearing and cursing.

if you need files, here’s one site that has most everything and free, and there are others. ***Fair Warning: you may spend most of the day and half the night sifting through everything once you’re hooked. How do I know? Well, when I found this place I looked up and it was 2:30 in the morning!

Good luck and keep us posted for sure.

I cant see the link to the one site John.

I just went to it on the first post and it works, don’t know what to tell you. I have decided not to use the product as some here have not recommended it for quality reasons.

Sorry gents, I forgot to include the link, my bad:

…and here’s a link to their site brick textures, brick having prompted the original question:

Okay!
