Back when I made sixth scale figures representing various military and law enforcement entities I made a Texas Range figure. I wrote the Texas Rangers and asked what their current badge looked like so I could get that reasonably correct in sixth scale typical modeler's attention to detail, right? A nice lady emailed me back with the info I needed but included the Texas statute telling me what would happen to me if I made a 1:1 scale badge and represented myself as a Ranger.  
I'd been clear I was a modeler, and I'm sure she understood, she was just doing her diligence. One Questionable 1:6 Scale Modeler, One Ranger Secretary. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I've been to the museum and I agree, it's worth a stop if you're traveling through. Back when they first opened it the Texas Outdoor Writers Association had a meeting there and we got an early look at it. It started out right off Hwy 35 on the south bank of the Brazos River in Waco. I imagine it has grown since then. I also went to a writers' turkey hunt at the YO Ranch in the hill country near Kerrville, TX. One of the brothers who own it has a personal gun collection in a concrete bunker/basement under his house. It has a vault door on it from an old Texas bank, a Val Verde bank if I remember right. He has a partial wall of guns carried by Texas Rangers along with the history of the ranger who carried each gun. The Texas Rangers are probably one of the best known, most storied, and most readily identifiable law enforcement agencies in the country. |
