If it doesn't work through several scaling operations then simply apply the
normal to the object at it's final scale and adjust the normal to appear
how you wish it to look.

Say for example you have a blob man that is 10 pov units tall but you
want it 1 unit tall. Scale it by 0.1 then apply the normal to it after
the scale statement. It may not be as predictable as you prefer but you
should still be able to get the normal pattern to appear as you wish
it to.
