I just watched the video...HOLY CRAP! I thought 1/700 was small.

Hmmm, I guess dead fleas would be out of the question, too big.

The hard part is getting the fleas to sit still while you paint them......

There's a classic image from the old Macross cartoon series with a soldier leaning against a crashed ship in the desert. I want to build a little diorama of that shot. I think that the ship in the cartoon was a scout ship similar to the one below, but the scale of that ship was much smaller, so I may be able to fudge it with a bigger figure.

Not too long ago, maybe a month or two, I saw a report on TV about a guy that paints items as small as a pin head! Incredible works of art. I think he uses a microscope or some gadget to see whats hes doing. Trully amazing.

A grain of salt could probably be used aa an elephant in this scale.

You could paint a grain of salt. Sounds like I'm trying to be a samrt aleck, but I'm serious. That's about the size you're looking for, right?

Believe it or not, it was not a typo. 1/20000. It's probably the same size as a speck of dirt, so it doesn't make sense!

1/20000? A figure in that scale would be .09 mm tall. If that was a typo for 1/2000 the figure would be just under 1 mm.

Posted by Baskervilles on Tuesday, February 10, 2009 8:39 AM

This seems ridiculous, but does anyone know of any 1/20000 scale figures? I am going to be building a small diorama and I wanted a few minature people on the ground, but can't find anything close to scale. Even if I found them, I'm not sure how I would paint them.

Thanks! Rob
