[b] I'm following this closely. Thanks for the background links Stephen.

Is this going to include the topic of forced perspective? I have had a project in mind using this idea and I'd love to hear other's experiences.

Basically, look at paintings on the rear cover of Cross & Cockade International Vol.33 No. 3 2002. British costal airships over oceangoing ships.

I have a BE.2 vac fuselage from the 1/48 Falcon kit for the SS class gondola, a few photos and a whole heap of good intentions so far.

Hi sperry! Take a look at the work of a guy called matrixone over on www.finescale.com go to forums and go back 3or4 pages.He has done some very fine work with forced perspective.He has actually built a complete airfield and uses various scales of aircraft .He then photographs them in color or B&W.He even ages his B&W pics so that they look antique.Very hard to tell if they are the real thing or not.He seems to be very willing to share his knowledge.Cheers!John.
