Do you know that you can put an image in the background of a 3D view that
zoom with the rest of the model ?

What I do is to split the main view in 4 (2x2), convert my 3 view into
3 jpeg images cropped at the exact with of the model and add one of them
in each view in the '=' menu, with the exact width entered in blender.
Look here to see what I am trying to mean :

You have to tweak the height of the images and the position of the plane
in it in order that the 3 views match with each order, because blender
always center the image at (0,0) in the view.
