Sure, it's trivial. You measure 25 cm (or whatever you've decided on)
straight up from the model, and do LOS from that spot. Anybody who would
argue with that would argue with normal LOS sighting. This rule just
seems to me to fit in better than the shadow method, because it meshes
with the normal LOS rules.
