Hi,
I have used a large white poster board material and arranged the back so it
slopes up to vertical behind the model ... This removes the wall edge in the
pictures.. I dont have anything posted(yet) using this method but it solved the
back wall line and (except with white models) allows me to select the
background and remove it to place the model image into other landscapes .... I
was showing some of the original pictures to a friend at work and he explained
thats how they do some sets professionally ...basically a slope up to vertical
along the back wall ...I keep hoping to get some new footage of my aircraft but
alas ... it just hasnt happened yet ...
Hope this gives you some insight to a solution :)
John
