Attempting a 3D project

[Insane Dust Maker]

So I have this beautiful Russ Beard Lion that I have started cutting, my idea is this is going to be the Centre piece, in front of this will be another animal and the behind the Lion will be another so in fact it will be a three layered project. Bring a ex photographer the back round is going to be and out of focus shot of the typical African Savanna with maybe some blue sky on the top.

So here’s my question as can be seen from this pattern Russ let’s you cut through the board at the bottom and a bit on the sides, this would not matter if you were framing it, there’s going to be a front layer with a animal either in on the left or right side. Now would it matter if some of the black backer is can be seen at the bottom of the cut, because this will all be attached the the out of focus backing board.

If I understand you, your photo in the back is shorter than the cutting, so some of the backer board will show at the bottom.  If it bothers you that some of the black backer board will be visible, just shorten the cutting and the backing board to match the background photo.  Be careful that you don't remove some important bridges.  The final look is whatever you want it to be.

Tom, maybe I did not explain this properly, the are going to be three different cuttings all equal in size, the out of focus photo and backer board is going to be about 1000mm x 800mm. All these cuttings are going to be glued together with either a 4 or 6mm ply wood spacer, these will the be stuck onto the photo, and then framed so you will have some of the photo visible around the whole all the cuttings.

Sorry Don, but I have read and re-read your posts and can't make any sense of what you are trying to do. But, I will look forward to seeing it when it's finished just to satisfy my curiosity.

Ray, I am confused also, will wait for the finished project, RJ

If you are not framing it, can you just leave a border on the background piece? (if I am understanding the result).
