Some help from across the pond please. Two years ago I visited my brother and wife who live in Crownsville MA. Whilst there we visited Arlington and were very impressed with the pictures in the main Foyer. They are of Flags of various countries.
It was the technique that really impressed me. They are about 6 foot by 4 foot and as you walk across the viewing area they change from one country flag to another. When you stand at 90 degrees to the picture, there is yet another emblem.
What technique is this called please or where can i find any information as to the specification for the distance between the vertical plates.
As an ex Royal Navy Aircrew member, I would like to do a small version with the Union Flag and White Ensign with a helicopter as the centre picture.
I figure that this is the cheaper option - asking for help that is - as I will not be able to get across there until March 2004.

Wow, nearly 24 hours and no replies.
Maybe I mislead you a little.. it should read Crownsville MD. well Maryland anyway.

My store is even closer to Arlington than Crownsville... I'll see if I can go and look at the pictures soon.

Merlin framers,

I tried to find the answer for you but had no luck! Wish I could make it back out east to see what you are asking about. It's been at least 20 years since I've been out there and seen Arlington.

I was so young back then, it didn't do as much for me as it would now!

Good luck in your quest to find what you are looking for. Susan May will surely be able to help you if any one can.

Thankyou so much, that would be very kind of you.
Who knows March 2004 you may even get a visit in person. (world situation depending of course)
In fact that would be good as I could then see how you guys work.
Good Luck and thanks once again..
