We used a few retired ONWTC sets for this scene.

The landing craft and soldiers at the base of the cliff are 1/72 to force prospective.

The cliff is only about 18" high. Alex

That is truly awesome! I mean truly AWESOME!! Glad to see some old ONTC figures put to good use. And, love the forced perspective, BTW.

This is the best 'forced perspective' set of shots I've seen. Really worked well. Good work. -- Al

I always wanted to do a Point Du Hoc scene but never gave it a go because I thought it might be to much of a challenge for a novice such as myself. You have done such a great job with this scene. Hopefully I can recreate the event in the future when my skills get better.

This was a very hard scene to do from many aspects......We were surprised at the result.....Even figure placement on this scene was difficult.

This one even took us by surprise, the idea we had was executed just as we planned it. .....Well you have to get lucky once and a while. ^&grin

For those of you who may have missed it, these shots are in Episode III of THE GREAT CRUSADE.
