Forced perspective that is..... Must use a figure that is 1:18th scale with a background or foreground. Must make it look to be scale of course.

Well no photo shop adds to the challenge. Does not mean you can't use a computer monitor as a background though....
But that computer monitor better NOT be showing the Photoshop program.....
MS paint maybe?
If I'm understanding correctly it's like how in the comics they often draw objects closer to the foreground larger than the objects further back to create a forced perspective. Also they draw the fist coming at you in such a way as you can't see the majority of the rest of the arm. This use of forced perspective is also known as foreshortening. These concepts are often harder to achieve in photography of figures due to their slightly limited articulation compared to the human body. I'll see if I can dig up my DC comics guide to penciling, or my old How to draw comics the Marvel way to give you guys an example or two from the good old comics.
Kinda similar, but foreshortening and forced perspective are two different things.
Foreshortening: is the visual effect or optical illusion that causes an object or distance to appear shorter than it actually is because it is angled toward the viewer, where the size of an object's dimensions along the line of sight are relatively shorter than dimensions across the line of sight.

Forced perspective: a technique that employs optical illusion to make an object appear farther away, closer, larger or smaller than it actually is.

Probably isn't, but is this forced perspective at all?
>inb4 dat head though
Not as much as your avatar is. Your avatar is an excellent example of forced perspective.
May I suggest posting a second photo to show how its a forced perspective.
It might help get more votes to show how you did the slight of hand.

I'm all set and ready to take the picture but the weather isn't playing ball... constantly pissing down with rain!!!
Same here. Every night I set out all this cool shit to photograph, then the next morning I'm seeing some nasty ass weather. Fucking sucks.
