A matter of size
Posted by ikar01 on Sunday, April 26, 2020 2:18 PM

I'm working on a project that scales out at 1/160th scalen but have nothing at that scale.  I have a few figures in 1/72nd and maybe 1/100th.  Here's a question for you.  What scale would be best or could I possibly use both?  I'm thinking 1/72, because this thing in scale is aboiut three stories tall.

1/160 scale converts to "N" railroad scale (9 mm or 0.354 in) . Locate N scale figures via a web search.

Hi:

     You can find the figures you need at the Walthers and the Kibri model rail  sites.

Hi;IKAR01:

       You can find many kinds of figures in "N"scale at these sites, Walthers and Kibri. Also You can go to your local train store site and they might have them. It depends what you want. I don't recall a lot of Military type stuff. If you can get to 1/200 or or1/150 you'll be close enough that it won't matter. The average viewer is totally vision challenged when using figures that small.

Thanks for the info, I'll get them a try.  I'm vewer challenged in my own scale.  It gets hard to see details and read.
