Getting confused with scale's!

[Tubby-Nuts-REMOVED]

I am trying to equate what a 200mm figure is in standard ratio, I thought it was approx. 1/9 th ? is this close. or am I way off the mark. Any help would be appreciated.

A 200mm figure equates to 1/9 scale assuming the person is about 5` 10".
The size of 200mm is regularly used to describe 1/9 scale.

I copied this ages ago Mark
I posted this before on MedRom but hopefully you'll find it useful. A 5'8" / 1.73m man (a decent historical average) would be:
1/35 - 49.3mm tall
1/32 - 54mm tall
1/16 - 108mm tall
1/15 - 115mm tall
1/9 - 192mm tall
1/8 - 216mm
1/5 - 345mm

Scales for the common sizes:
70mm works out as around 1/25
75mm works out as 1/23
80mm works out as around 1/22
90mm works out as 1/19
100mm works out as around 1/17
200mm works out as roughly 1/9
250mm works out as roughly 1/7

Here's a link to some info from the Colorado Miniatures site that I find helpful.

Mark, TBH I'm not sure if that Colorado Miniatures page won't actually add to the confusion since it conflates some issues. Just to highlight one bit:

"Note that 1:32 is not equivalent to 54mm, nor is 1:16 equivalent to 120m..."​

​

The second part is correct but the first part is not; it's generally agreed upon these days that 54mm is 1/32 scale. Carl's quote left out the last bit of my post from 2004 which is actually quite critical to a discussion of scales v. nominal heights:

All measured from sole of foot to crown of head as one should.

Thanks, Einion,.. for the clarification! ... clearly its a choice of, rounding up or down to the nearest commercial scale! ... more so if you are scratch building items to expand any given purchased figure!

Regards,

Mark.
