120mm scale

[Gussy]

Has anybody seen figures or vehicles in 120mm scale? Is this equivalent to 1/35, 1/48, or what?

Thanks!

Depends what you mean.

If you mean 120mm = 1 foot, it would be 2:5 scale (1:2.5).

If you mean 120mm = 6 feet (average human height), it would be 1:15 scale.

As for seeing them, not often. There are medical body parts and organs at the 1:2 to 1:5 scales in most education and model shops (plus bigger of course, but not as often). There are busts and historical military vehicles and remote control vehicles and other random things in 1:15 scale but it\'s not popular, from what I\'ve seen.

Verlinden who do alot of 120mm scale describe it as 1:16 scale.

It may not be 100% correct.

I did say it probably wasn\'t 100% correct.

I think most historical figure manufacturors use 1800mm to calculate the scale, size and what not.
So 120mm = 1:15

i would advise use an airbrush on 120mm minis. brushes are just TOO MUCH WORK!

No they\'re not, just use a bigger brush! It really is that simple, I use a rosemary & co size 3-5 for most of the larger areas.
