Bill,
I'm in agreement with Bud with his use as is philosophy. Forced perspective
works because it fools the eye of the those facing it. The depth of your
bench-work/scene comes into play of course. So, if you are working with limited
depth, here is a suggestion. Place the Walthers HO building walls against the
wall, but in such a way that they sit in open view between but basically
"mostly" behind some full size S scale objects (buildings, tanks etc.) I use
the term mostly as the two opposite HO corners would be slightly hidden by the
S structures.
That way, you are conveying more distance to the scene. Even if your depth of
field isn't terribly limited, this will work and perhaps even better. In that
case, you could even expand your "visual distance" by additionally using some N
scale building walls. In that case you could place them just immediately
behind, but again next to the HO walls. What you are creating is an overall
scene that duplicates what an artist might do if they were painting an urban
scene. As one faces the scene, the HO and N buildings would also have differing
heights which would add to the illusion.
Hope what I wrote makes sense, Gene Cimino
