I'm into 1/144, so I deal a lot with the little scales. Somewhere I have a chart showing the same figure in each scale. It really is neat to see.

Thanks everyone. The web sites listed where just what I was looknig for

As a modler/wargamer/collector, being able to identify everything quickly on many groups/boards/forums/ebay/etc. is a real plus.

Actually it isn't a matter of English and Metric, it is proportional and actual. 1/32 can be metric as well. 1 can be an inch, a cm, or a mile. As long as both numbers are the same units it is true. 1 cm =32 cm and 1 inch =32 inches What you are calling metric is actually a common practice for figures only. 54mm means the figure is 54mm tall or would be if he were 6 ft in this scale.
Here's one for the smaller scales.

What exactly do you mean? What the metric scale is equal to in decimal scale? As in - 54mm = 1/32?

I'm surprised I can't find a a Scale Equivalence chart on this web site. I have no problems with what scale is and with english type scale 1/48, 172, 1/144 etc. These all make sense.

What about the metric ones though/ What is 54mm, 10mm 28 mm?

Does anyone know of a chart showing what english - metric scales are?

TIA
