What scale is 230mm

[Banjer]

Bonapartes recently produced a bust and gave the size as 230mm scale.
Anyone able to help regarding how this relates to a fraction? As far as I can work out it is 1/8th scale but I would like confirmation.

Cheers

Your assumed scale of 1/8 is in the right ball park Bill.
A while back I prepared a listing of six different heights with varing different model heights and their related scales.

Hope this helps.

Thank you Andrew, I was considering buying the bust to convert to a sitting full figure and was hoping to be able to purchase some accessories. Unfortunately 1/8th is a bit of an obscure scale so more scratch building if I go ahead.

Very useful table you produced.

Assuming a height of 180cm, 230mm is 1/7.82 (!). 1/8 is fine as a scale, although 1/9 (200mm) is more often used.
