The rather uncommon [citation needed] 40 mm figure scale wargames figures fit approximately into this scale. 1:45: 6.773 mm This is the scale which MOROP has defined for O scale, because it is half the size of the 1:22.5 Scale G-gauge model railways made by German manufacturers. [citation needed] 1:43.5: 7.02 mm: Model railways (0)
Both figure scales are based on the 1 mm = 1 ft calculation that reduces the average 1.72 m height of a human male to a 5.7 mm tall figure. "6 mm" is therefore used as a rounded-up reference to the scale. In 1:285 scale, a typical 20 mm base can mount approximately 3-5 infantry figures; or three strips of four figures in rank-and-file formation.
This is further complicated by the fact some scales use several different gauges; for example, HO scale uses 16.5 mm as the standard gauge of 4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (1,435 mm), 12 mm to represent 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 + 3 ⁄ 8 in) gauge (HOm), and 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) (HOn3-1/2), and 9 mm to represent a prototype gauge of 2 ft (610 mm).
Heroic scale of 32 mm miniatures. 1:50 scale is a popular size for diecast models from European manufacturers. 1:48 is commonly known as quarter scale or American O scale. 40 mm: ≈7 mm: ≈1:45 – 1:43: Older figures from the 60s and tend to be thinner / shorter than new metal ones. Close to O scale model railroads. 54 mm: 9.6 mm: 1:35 –1:32
5.56×45mm NATO – standard ammunition size; 6 mm – approximate width of a pencil; 7 mm – length of a Paedophryne amauensis, the smallest-known vertebrate [109] 7.1 mm – length of a sunflower seed; 7.62×51mm NATO – common military ammunition size [110] 8 mm – width of old-format home movie film
The 1:64 scale is a traditional scale for models and miniatures, in which one unit (such as an inch or a centimeter) on the model represents 64 units on the actual object. It is also known as the "three-sixteenths scale" since 3/16 of an inch represents one foot.
This also allowed more space to model the external valve gear. The resulting HO track gauge of 16.5 mm represents 4 feet 1.5 inches at 4 mm-to-the-foot scale; this is 7 inches under scale, or approximately 2.33 mm too narrow. In 1932, the Bing company collapsed, but the Table Railway continued to be manufactured by the new Trix company. Trix ...
Strictly speaking, scale is the ratio of the size of a model to that of its prototype and gauge is the distance between the track railheads. In the case of S scale, the proportion is 1:64 or 3 ⁄ 16 inch modeling 1 foot. Standard S gauge track has a spacing of 7 ⁄ 8 inch (22 mm). Three-foot gauge in S scale (Sn3 gauge) is 14.28 mm (0.562 in).
