Maßstab (Fuß-Kopf)
Why we use foot-to-head
Every manufacturer measures a bit differently.
We keep it simple: bottom of feet → top of head.
| Nominal size | Human 1 .70 m → model | Practical ratio | Foot-to-head note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 28 mm | ≈ 30 mm | 1 : 60 | classic wargame |
| 32 mm | ≈ 31–33 mm | 1 : 54 | “heroic” scale; GW, MCP |
| 75 mm display | ≈ 75 mm | 1 : 24 | display pieces |
Formula – Model (mm) = Real height (mm) ÷ Ratio
10 m dragon 1 : 60 → ≈ 167 mm tall.
How to brief us
“Elf woman 1.82 m, 1 : 60 scale, running pose.”
With a ratio we can:
keep a standing, sitting or leaping figure in the same universe – a crouching rogue at 1 : 60 still matches your standing warrior.
auto-scale monsters, scenery and buildings from that human reference
What about big hats, wings or banners?
We scale the body first (foot-to-head) and add the hat / horns / plume afterwards.
So a wizard in a 40 mm top-hat is still 30 mm foot-to-head at 1 : 60; the hat counts as extra height, not a new scale, so your hero never “shrinks” inside an oversized accessory.
