Work out miniature scale size instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.
The scale denominator is the real height in millimetres divided by the miniature height, which converts a stated figure size into a proper ratio. Wargaming figures quote heights rather than ratios, so a 28 mm figure of a 1.8 m human is really about 1:64, not the 1:56 often assumed from eye level.
Scale ratio
denominator = real height in mm / miniature height in mm
denominator = real height in mm / miniature height in mm. The scale denominator is the real height in millimetres divided by the miniature height, which converts a stated figure size into a proper ratio.
Wargaming figures quote heights rather than ratios, so a 28 mm figure of a 1.8 m human is really about 1:64, not the 1:56 often assumed from eye level.
Enter miniature height, represented real height. The defaults shown are a realistic worked example — swap in your own figures to get a result you can use.
