I have the following setup

class User \< MySuperClass #not an AR model  
attr\_accessor :id, :name  
end

class Picture \< AR::Base  
end

Picture’s db table looks something like  
-id  
-user\_id  
-size

I want to be able to do @user.pictures.find(:all, :conditions =\> 'size

> 100’) and other scoped find calls for pictures. Is there any plugin  
> or other technique I can use to achieve this sort of coding style? If  
> the classes were both AR models this would be as simple as  
> establishing an association proxy but since User is not an AR model I  
> don’t know how to create scope for the find.

Thank you,
