    You don't necessarily need a high ceiling if your able to mount a mirror on the ceiling instead. Another option is to use a table with frosted glass top - you can get clear glass and peel sticky back plastic sheet frosting, or aerosol sprayable frosting for it. You can then project up onto the back of it so that your miniatures do not cast shadows or objects take on projection hue. If you mount a mirror at an angle you can project sideways and mirror the image up onto the back of the frosted sheet.

    As far as that glass goes, don't bother with contact paper...sandblasted glass or acid etched glass is not that expensive. I buy clear 1/8 inch thick glass for 75 cents per square foot, sandblasted is 92 cents and acid etched is 1.20 dollars. Depending on size you would have to get something thicker and that can up the costs quite a bit, so my question is how big would this be? Tell me that and I can tell you an estimate for the retail price. As an aside I use 1/4 inch thick glass on my painting table (4 feet by 8 feet) for painting up church windows and I hang 8 lights below it to throw light up onto my drawing, put the glass on top then paint the tracing lines. I would recommend the acid etch since sandblast tends to leave fingerprints.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
