The goal here is to give you answers to any questions you have on Miniature scale. If you have trouble finding any answer or don’t see what you’re looking for, please let me know in the comments! I’m planning to keep this updated with any requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will be focusing on 1\/12 scale, 28mm scale and Heroic scale. This covers the ranges I am familiar with in miniature painting and modeling. Tabletop Wargaming is typically 28mm scale. Action figures are often 1\/12 scale. Heroic scale is simply a style of modeling. More below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a general rule of thumb, most tabletop miniature sizes fall in between 25mm to 40mm scale.<\/strong> Meaning a 6 foot person would measure between 28mm and 40mm, roughly 1 inch to 1.5 inches. A 12 foot tree would be 2 to 3 inches tall. A 3 foot tall rock would be between 1\/2 inch to 3\/4 inch tall. And so on.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is important to note a lot of miniature scale information is out of date or incorrect.<\/strong> The vast majority of miniatures are roughly 30-32mm scale. Miniature brands often do not include the scale of their models, because they vary a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ll also go over 3D printing and how to get the miniatures to be in scale with other minis you have or plan to play with.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMiniature Scale Chart By Range<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
