I recently bought a Pegaso mini -- a Norman knight. Very nice detail, etc. It was described as 54mm -- but measures about 63mm from bottom of feet to top of head (bare head). is this typical for the sizing of Pegaso? Are they known for making a slightly larger sized figure? |

Or they might be following the practice of measuring the height to the eye level? Griefbringer |

‘54mm' is supposed to be 1/32 which makes 63mm 6'-7.4" he could play center for the Norman basketball team. 54mm at 1/32 is 5'8" an average height for pre-modern men. If 54mm is taken to refer to a measurement to the eyes then a 54mm figure would still only be 57-58mm tall to the top of the head. A 63mm figure would be about 10% taller than average. In terms of modern men being 5'10" average he'd be nearly 6'4", about one man in 50 is that tall. |

I belive they use from feet to eyes. |

Volume increases as a cube (height X width X depth) surface area as a square (height x width X 6)so a 30mm figure has about 30% more surface area to work with than a 25mm one, 35mm (1/48) has about 30% more than 30mm, 40mm has about 30% more than 35mm and 54mm (1/32) has about 75% more than 40mm. In the case in question a 63mm figure has nearly 40% more surface area than a 54mm figure. It's easy to see why there is a tendency for figures to become larger but comparing a 54mm figure to a 63mm-54mm figure is a bit like comparing auto mileage with one car using American and another Imperial gallons. |
