Re: [GZG] 1:1 scale miniatures

Ah yes, I played around with this when I was at uni and had access to  
the view cameras in the Photo Arts department. I was doing precisely  
the opposite of what is shown, in that I was using shifts and tilts  
to make my model aircraft and AFV dioramas look more like the real  
thing.

Photographic shifts and tilts are based on the gloriously-named  
Scheimpflug Principle, and are usually beyond what can be achieved  
with the sort of cameras most people own. Digital post-processing can  
simulate some of the effect when making real objects look like	
miniatures, but you probably need a real view camera to make  
miniatures look like real tanks etc.
