Alas, missminiatures.com appears to be a dead site. Does anyone know if the measuring tool – "06, 15, 25, 28, 30, 35, 40 mm" increments – was picked up and is produced by anyone? The side of the base says "classic28" but that has not helped me any. |

Will a tape measure not work? |

The question was is this being produced, not what else can I use, Extra Crispy. And actually, no a tape measure does not perform the same function as this device, Extra Crispy. This lets me photograph miniatures against a standard "slip/fall free" instrument that can't induce errors of measuring because it slightly angled when braced upright as a rules or grid sheet, is not going to wear out or break like a "inexpensive" mini/pocket sized metal tape measure, and lets me clearly establish whether a pair of miniatures is of stated size, (especially if the measurement is to the eyes in one case and to the top of the head in a different case,) when it is placed next to said miniature. Now it too can rip a pocket if carelessly transported in a pocket just as a metal tape measure can ad has, but this stays in my ever-present accessory box until it is needed. |
