Tracing paper for background

Anyone knows where I can get large pieces of tracing paper? I suddenly have an idea of trying a blurry background instead of the normal "glass showing white wall" background.

Dude, go to Balestier, you can buy "frosted glass" stickers from shops that do windows. Less than $1 per square foot. They even have them in varying degrees of transparency. The specific shop is next to the first 7-11 along Balestier if you're going in from the Thomson side. I'm using it on a 2 footer that I have up and running now. You apply it like you would Oyama paper.

Cool, thanks for the tip! Will try to make time to go down there. Does it provide a nice effect?

if you dont want to paste stuff behind permanently.. then you can just go Art Friend to buy the frosted thick kind of tracing paper.. it is actually used for sketching floorplans and stuff.. works well.. just paste corners with scotch tape.

It does kind of look nicer than the normal light effect you'd get against a white wall. The gradient looks smoother and you get a slight "smoky" effect.

For the ultimate, ADA sells sand blasted back cube gardens!

Terence, go to Art Friend (Bras Brasah or Takashimaya) and have fun going through all the coloured paper/plastic-ly stuff you can use as non-stick-on tank background! Lots of colours and maybe textures and just stick the corners!
