You have your nose 2 1/3 studs high; I figured mine to be 4 2/3 studs high. That
is quite a difference.
Put it this way-- a fig really shouldn't be able to see *over* the nose as he/she
stands on the walkway...
Sorry I can't post pics; something is up with my firewire connection-- I need to
dig out the ol' 35mm and do it the old fashioned way:-p
