Scale conversion question

Post by Linrandir »

So I recently got on some hobby store's mailing list. Big shocker.

However, I find myself intrigued by the various standard scale measurements and wondering how they translate into the 25mm, 28mm, and 30mm scales that I am used to (from Warmachine, etc).

I went questing out on Google and found this page: http://www.plastruct.com/Pages/ConversionTables.html

If I am reading this correctly, then the closest match to Warmachine's 30mm scale would be a 1:48 scale model. The description does state that 54mm figures are 1:35 scale. I also recall reading somewhere in the PP forums that the closest match is O-scale train stuff, which is equal to 1:48, but I can't find that post again.

Am I reading this chart correctly?
