Triang Wallpaper Reference

Below are pictures of wallpaper I have found in my Triang Houses.  Some are of whole rooms, some are just pieces I have scanned.  Many of my Triang houses did not have any wallpaper, or were badly damaged.

 

TRIANG NO.62

The inside of this house has its original wallpaper, and is in quite good condition.

TRIANG NO. 24

This house had a lovely selection of wallpapers, but the house was suffering from very bad woodworm.  The woodworm treatment I used had some sort of oil in it and this meant the papers on the walls could not be saved.

TRIANG NO.42

It must be remembered that these houses were toys, owned by children who like to decorate with crayons, pencils and lovely colourful stickers.  They must have had great fun in this house.

Below is the wallpaper I reproduced.

no.41 054

I have tried to reproduce this wallpaper as it appears in many different colours, but it is a very random pattern and has a texture which I am having difficulty with.  The pieces of these wallpapers and not very big, and it is a bit like putting a jig saw puzzle together.

It is very sad that out of twelve Triang houses I own, ten of which should have wallpaper, the only examples I have are the ones above.
