Lost backdrop???

fatboy · 24 September 2013, 15:57

I use to have a really cool 'retro' wallpaper on my original A1200, but lost it after a HD failure some years ago.

It was of an image of 1950's glamour model sitting on stool holding a copy of CU Amiga (as I recall?). I've had a look on Google and found some in the same style, but not the one I lost

Anyone know which one I mean?

Cheers

Could it be that it was a wallpaper that CU Amiga supplied on one of their coverdisks?

Also, maybe posting one of those images that you found on google could also jog someone's memory too

I think it was a modified Gil Elvgren image (famous 1950's artist of glamour models??)

Thanks for the image which would help enormously

The reason why I asked for you to post one of the images you found that was similar, was to get some idea of roughly what I/we are looking for and also to, maybe, jog someone's memory.

Also, I suspect it's probably scene GFX, and there's billions of those.

i found some iff pictures in a folder called ScalaPinUps on a BBS cd-image.
no cu-amiga logo - maybe close to the one missing.
some nude but not really offending - so take a look, or remove

*zoned*

@emufan
Thanks but sadly not the image I'm looking for.

I do remember there being several modified images of the same style (with some sort of Amiga theme added??). I think the second is close to what I had, only she was holding a copy of CU Amiga as I recall?

I can't just be imagining it

......just found something getting close (3rd image)
