I think your idea will work well. It's all in how you choose to view it; from the prospective of a 1" tall individual or yourself. If you stand above the canal, it may loose the effect, because the river drops off at the backdrop. However, if you are photographing the scene, you won't be looking down at the canal and the photo will be shot at ground level.
I was doing some thinking, the average height for a male is 5' - 10". That is 70 inches. The layout height is 58 inches. Eyes are around 5 inches below top of head, so the average viewer will see the layout from 65 inches, or about 7 inches above the layout height - a fairly low angle. I think it will work. Now, I am 76 inches tall, so the effect won't be as good for me!
