It's all a matter of Scale
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, March 2, 2004 8:14 PM
I'm currently looking for figures for various ideas (not even "projects" yet!) and I have come across some confusing scale denomination, at least for a newbie like me.

Could somebody tell me how the different figure scales (54mm, 75mm, 200mm etc.) relate to the usual scale convention (1/72, 1/35, 1/12)

On a related subject, I know I have seen this somewhere, but what about the Railroad scale (HO, Z, N etc.) vs the "conventional"?

Any help in untangling my scrambled brain would be much appreciated!

Oh, and in case anybody is curious, I'm looking for a 1/12 WW2 Navy/Marine pilot. Not quite easy!!!
