Hi Fultra,
Do the Christmas lights provide adequate lighting for your backglasses? I have a backglass illuminated by two 18" flourescent (under cabinet) lights. Although they provide great lighting, I'd much rather use x-mas lights so I don't need to have the frame so far from the wall (looks somewhat goofy if I look at it from the side).
In addition, what kind of x-mas lights did you use and how did you hang them (for example, side-by-side, right next to each other)? How many do you need for an average size backglass?
Lastly, do you have any Star Wars, Indiana Jones, or other movie-theme translites? BTW, I had my translite shipped in a thick poster tube.
I hope you can answer my questions.
Thanks for your time!

: 1. Buy a backglass or translite and put it in a frame and hang it. I have a Playboy, Flash Gordon and Blackjack that look great. They are very easy to backlight too using christmas lights.
: * I have access to a lot of old backglasses. Cost would be about $40 each (depending on theme) but I'm not sure how I could ship them - any ideas?
