Forced Perspective
 

Does this work?

The Helo on the ground is a 1:72 CH-53E Super Stallion. The foreground helo is a Dragonfly. Does this work as forced perspective or does it look like two different scale helos?

The final shot will be taken outside so the flash shadow of the landing skid won't be a factor.

it could work if you put some movement in the ground like peope or more vehicles in the same scale or a storage where it is landing, great idea!!!

I agree, it would work with other small elements.. like ppl. If i just look at the two 'copters as is, it works, but having other elements would enforce it.

Is there a a 1:18 CH-53E Super Stallion copter?

If there was, the fuselage would be about 3 1/2 feet long and the rotor diameter would be about the same. It's not inconcievable, as the 1/18 scale F-14 is about that size, but it's unlikely it'll be made. Cargo/troop transport helos just aren't "sexy" enough.

I don't know that I've even seen a 1/48 or 1/35 scale CH-53, I've only found them in 1/72.

I think it will work just fine. Like everyone said, just add a few more elements on the ground and it should look sweet.

It works for me. I did this a lot in my Transformers crossover to cut down on Photoshop work. Here's an example:



This Starscream is barely taller than those greenshirts.

The perspective work fine man. And as everyone said, the more props, the more it'll be convincing.

Is the Joe/TF crossover on General Joes? I read that..if it's the same one, lots of good shots like that.

If you put a bit more in the same scale as the chopper on the ground you have it made, or if you take them out and have the ground way in the background (as in both are flying) I think it works too.
