Hey guys, I found that model railroad "G" scale is approx. 1/24 scale. There are several commercial figures available!

Hi, I`m looking for 1/250 scale figures. How much difference in height between the the two scales would estimate. Thank you, Skip

1/24 figures would make a 6 foot tall man 3 inches tall.
1/250 figures would make a 6foot tall man 9/32nd inches tall... [&:]




If you meant 1/25th scale, that would be a difference of 1/8th inch.

Hi, I can`t find 1/250 scale figures, their height would be approximately 9/32 that equals a 6`man. It won`t make any difference of what kind of figures they are, for they will be small you`ll need a magnifying glass to see them. Please let me know if you have any ideas, Thank you, Skip

[link=http://www.plastruct.com/Pages/Action.lasso?-database=PI.PRODUCTS.fp5&-Layout=Complete&-Response=OnlineProductDetail.html&-op=eq&CCode=FI-250&-Search]Plastuct not only has "Plastic weld" for styrene , they also sell figures.[/link]

[link=http://www.plastruct.com/Pages/Action.lasso?-database=PI.MASTER.fp5&-Layout=Complete&-Response=OnlineCatalogDetail.html&GraphicKey=SFI-25&-Search]A couple of styles actually.[/link]

Maybe you can mod them up to look appropriate.

Hi Kmot, Umi sent me Plastuct`s website, scan down on this page, there are two seperate links, be sure and check them both out. I`m sure you`ll find something you can use, I did. Umi sure helped me on these figures, for I searched a lot and came up with nothing even close to the scale I wanted. Thanks Umi ! Skip

Skip, we need to clear something up here.

I was looking for 1/24 scale figures. Not 1/240 scale. There is a HUGE difference between the two. 1/24 and 1/25 scale have absolutely nothing in common with 1/240 and 1//250 scale figures.

For example: A 1/24 scale human figure would stand 3 inches tall. A 1/240 scale figure would stand 3/10th's of an inch, tall.

Are we on the same playing field now?

Hi Kmot, you bettcha, I must have had a senior moment. Just think, one little zero, how it can screw things up. Skip

I've purchased several 1/24 railroad figures from [link=http://www.slmonline.com/]Supply Line Minatures[/link]
They are nicely sculpted and well realistically proportioned, but would probably need some modifications to represent sailors.

Not sure of your inclinations- but I'm starting on sculpting some figures for a 1/10 model following the [link=http://www.mylargescale.com/articles/articles/figureclass/ch1/figures-01.asp]Figure Class[/link] at MyLargeScale.com
The author details basic techniques to sculpt figures using polyclay.
The articles are well done and it seems actually do-able!

I'll take a pic to post on the 1/10 figure thread.

Hi GregE, the scale figures I`m looking for are quite small, 1:250, approximately 9/32 -- 3/8 tall. Thank you for sending me the website. Skip
