| Subject: | Re: 120mm to 1/16th scale |  |

Steve;
The scale is close but not quite right. For an item to be 120mm now after having been reduced to 1/16 scale, it would have to be multiplied by 16 to get the actual size. In this case, 120mm times 16 is 1920mm. At 25.4mm to the inch, the figure in real life is 6 ft 3 1/2in. Would you notice a single tall figure around a Tiger? Probably not. But if a number of figures were all this tall, it would be noticable. People 5ft 10in would be 111mm in 1/16th scale and that would be almost a centimeter shorter than your 120mm figure.
Different heights can be faked by pushing figures down a little into mud or mounting them on different heights of terrain so that even if they are all the same height, they don't look it.
