This photo doesn't quite look like the print (it actually looks better), and I don't know how "real" it looks, but I definitely have enough "proof of concept" to start building a platform to hold the pieces.

Nice job!

One thing I need to figure out is how best to tone down my flash. Right now, it's about 2" behind the negative, and at it's lowest power I had to use f/25(!) to get the proper exposure. I guess the first step is just to increase the distance, though I was hoping to keep things compact. I'd like to use f/11 - f/16 to give enough DOF.

Try placing one or more sheets of white paper in front of your flash.
