Line: Scales of Justice

   Somebody posted a challange on a.a-a for anybody to make the scales of 
justice.  Normand responded, so I thought I'd repost it here.  Everything 
below the dashed line is Normand's response.

How can you challenge me to do something that I finished three days ago!  Do 
you have ESP, or what ?  In any case, here is the file I intended to post:


Here is a full screen free-hand depiction (no grid this time) of an
illustration that was about 2 square centimetres on paper.  Before
you ask:  yes it is drawn to scale and since it is symmetrical, it
actually is balanced too!  :-)
