Given the (theoretical) idea that a man-sized figure should be
around 1.6 to 1.8 meters tall (or to the eyes, or whatever, I don't really
care that much), if you divide the mm scale by the fractional scale you should
end up with a constant, or thereabouts. So:
6mm / 1/285 = 1710
6mm / 1/300 = 1800
25mm / 1/72 = 1800
etc., etc.
So 15mm should be roughly (1800/15 =) 1/120 scale, and 1/35
scale should be roughly 52mm.
Easy, neh?

I usually point everyone to The Miniatures Page. If measuring to the "eye
height" of a figure, they use a constant of 1610. To the top of the figure,
they use 1730.
Regardless, this is about the best reference I've seen for scales. They list
the mm scale, the proportion (i.e. 1/72) scale, and they mention the
railroad scale (HO, OO, N, etc.) and give a note on the most popular types of
figures in those scales.
You can find the web page at:

Yes, thanks.
