I need to print some images of commercial interiors to be viewed through the windows of my station building.

These would be mounted just back from the window and lit from behind so the building appears to have an interior.  I was thinking either an office, barber's shop, cafe or similar type of business likely to occupy a large station concourse.

I think you used these in your Abbey Street Michael ( :hmm) - I'd be grateful if you could point me in the right direction ………………..

I get my interiors from the internet.It may take some time to find the right perspective and era. You don't want a modern interior for a1950s building. 

Thanks Claus.

What did you search for ?


I seem to get sites offering scale furniture kits but nothing yet showing interior views through the window.

Try ''1950s British XXXX interiors'', replacing XXXX with what type you're looking for, like:

1950's British Shop Interiors


1950's British Cafe Interiors

Happy googling,

Bill

 . . . and for barber shop:

https://www.google.com/search?q=1940s%20british%20barber%20interiors&tbm=isch&tbs=rimg:CecK24WepMWrYdQ20S-MPctR&client=firefox-b-d&hl=en-US&sa=X&ved=0CBwQuIIBahcKEwiI37zwvLfvAhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQCA&biw=1519&bih=722

As Claus said, the trick is finding the correct perspective for your particular view through the window.

Jolly good fun though having so much to choose from on'tinternet!

Hi Peter
i just search for something like tearoom interior, or workshop interior, or whatever, and then just look at the images. along the top of the search will be a selection of other choices to refine the search further.

Then I simply copy the image into Word and resize the image.  often the pictures are not long enough, so I might duplicate the image and position them side by side, or overlap, until I get the size I need.  As others have said, the trick is getting the right perspective.  Sometimes the right image appears quickly, other times it is a bit of a search.

Michael

Thanks guys - much appreciated.  No idea why thsse things didn't pop up on my search - I got lots of architectural models and interior designers but nothing approaching what your searches threw up.   :thumbs

I wonder why this post has gone small..... ...?

Bills links are long (Longchap?? ) 
And so his post forces the page to display smaller to fit it in, just needs to be put in using the 'Add link: while posting so the link gets hidden and you put in a short descriptive name which gets displayed instead.

Ill nip in and edit  later   :thumbs

Cheers

Matt

Squeeeeeeeeezed it all back in Peter.  .  I left the shortest link as is so you see what Bill meant  :thumbs
Cheers

Matt

Well I did warn you about the sometimres awkward length (re sig bar below), but I didn't know there was a work round Matt, so thanks for the edit offer and if it's easy enough for a simple scouser to understand, please drop me a PM and I'll begin the transition to a shortchap. A forelorn hope really  

Cbheers,

Bill  :cheers

When get a link like this:

https://www.google.com/search?q=1940s%20british%20barber%20interiors&tbm=isch&tbs=rimg:CecK24WepMWrYdQ20S-MPctR&client=firefox-b-d&hl=en-US&sa=X&ved=0CBwQuIIBahcKEwiI37zwvLfvAhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQCA&biw=1519&bih=722

You can chop off all the stuff after the relevant part, like this

https://www.google.com/search?q=1940s%20british%20barber%20interiors

and it will still work. Try it.

( %20 is internet code for a space )

The extra stuff is to tell Google your hat size and whether you like Marmite, and which web sites you were looking at 5 minutes ago in which browser. So that they can sell this information to their advertisers.

Martin.

Tis easy young Sir  First go to your site of choice and 'Copy' your Link Then  you open the reply box, type in your bumf,  and when you are at the point in your text where you want to add a link, ?  at the top, right hand side of the edit box you see seven little boxes. Number three is this fella 
Click on that and it opens a text box ( in it you will see http in blue, just delete this). Now paste in your link and say ok

Next text box opens and Here you type what you want to See as your LINK text.     Click ok and your short link should
Appear in the post box. 

Give it a try sometime, just edit an old post and try adding in a link to see how it works

Cheers

Matt 

Yeah. . . Or Martins way  . Probably. MUCH faster  :thumbs

Hi Martin and thanks for your clear explanation, which makes sense and reminds us that 'big brother' is ever watchful.

Yes, it works a treat and is now added to my small box of IT tricks. So you can teach an old dog a new trick, cool!

Best,

Bill

Now I just knew you'd be lurking in the background Matt and thanks for explaning more about some of the unknown boxes in the posting window, all seven of which I can see as I type this, which makes just six to master now (NO, please don't tell me, as I like to have some mystery about me).

Best,

Bill

Hi Bill,

Thanks. You can do the same with most web sites. For example suppose you want to order one of these online:



You will probably get a URL like this on Amazon:

 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B089B1PLX6/ref=sr_1_4_sspa?dchild=1&qid=1616012478&sr=8-4-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyNjJONVFNTDZGUldLJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNTY4MTA2M1VJUFNQUTA5NVIyTyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNTQ1NjIwM0dOTE9SOFZSNzQ3RCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=A2M1VJUFNQUTA5NVIyTyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPU

which you can shorten to just the part number, like this:

 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B089B1PLX6

and it will still work.

Martin.

Nice enough model Martin, but your brilliant weathering takes it into another league and with all that coal, you must be running a Big Boy or two!

Thanks again,

Bill
