This is a bit embarrassing. Someone has asked me for a photo of a Black Scorpion miniature next to an Arnica Real Estate building. Although I have a room full of Arnica buildings, I cannot find any of my Black Scorpion minis. I've got a nice set of them, somewhere in my mountain of unpainted lead, but I just cannot find them. Does anyone have a photo of a BS mini next to an Arnica building? That would be very helpful to me. Thanks! Mike |

Best I can do is perhaps a Black Scorpion mini next to a ruler… If someone has that you can show a ruler up against an Arnica building. Since all my buildings in this scale are (non-Arnica) adobe I can't help with a Black Scorpion next to an Arnica building… Hopefully someone can be more effective in meeting this request but if that's all I can offer currently. I really wish I had an Arnica adobe building but I put it off too long. No one to blame for that but my parsimonious nature. Gracias, Glenn |

picture Had to wait to get home. This is a slightly modified BS figure from the Tombstone 1 set. He is not on a plastic base which makes him a bit shorter. The building is the Mercantile. |

Hmmm. Doesn't bother me but I can see where some might be concerned. The perspective effect might make the door look smaller than it is in reality? I need to ask my art oriented daughter about that… Gracias, Glenn |

picture A little more dead on to try and kill the perspective. He's as close to the wall as his base will allow. He'll be a little higher on the plastic slotta base. |

My daughter, FWIW, based on the first picture, says it not the perspective. The figure would have to dip his head to enter the door. Based on the second picture, which she has not seen, I'm not so sure… Whether or not that is a 'challenge' depends on the view of the owner of the figure/building. Gracias, Glenn |

Perhaps it's a building from the guys' side of the street. Remember, on movie sets they were made a little smaller than those on the ladies' side so the actors looked larger and the actresses looked petite. 8^)
Or not.
