This always throws me. The only ones I have down are 1/100 is close to 15mm scale, 1/300 = 6mm scale. A friend is making a very nice privateer model at 1/48. I was thinking of trying to get a crewman for him. 40mm is what I'm looking for? Not that I've noticed any nautical figures in that scale… |

1/48 = 40mm scale? It's probably near enough. |

I would say that was tall… maybe 36-38… but whats a couple mm. |

…but whats a couple mm. So said the 'scale creep' argument of 25 vs. 28 vs. 30…  40mm is really close.

40mm is actually 1/43 scale. We have a line of 40mm pirates that may fit your bill. |

Forcrew I would recommed either the Sash Saber pirates, or the Trident sailors, both lines very well done and 40MM. |

1/48th is about 35mm, the size of NorthStar, Galloping Major, VFM and some other miniatures. |

35-36mm is what I'm used to, too. |

Bookmark this Odd that that link defines the scale associated with 'O' gauge as 1/43.5 and 1/48 as "also a railroad scale". 1/48 is the normal scale associated with 'O' gauge in the U.S. link Of course if train scales were rational 1/43.5 would be correct but then the British use 1/76 trains on HO track. 40mm at 1/48 is 6'3.5". |

I think the U.K. and the U.S. have slightly different O gauges as well? |

Regardless, 1/48th or 35mm is probably the perfect scale for the larger wargame models |
