About how tall are 1/16 scale figures? I'm wondering if it would be worth buying a few to practice painting on something larger.

From left to right:

200mm Kirin SEAL diver (looks shorter because it's stooping)
150mm Kirin Desert Storm
120mm (1/16) Tamiya SS
1/35 DML 101st M203 Grenadier



Sorry for the poor-quality photo.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Trisaw, that picture helps a lot! Makes 1/35 look tiny!

Hi Peter (Trisaw),
I came across a model that is 1/10. Is that 200mm?

Hi,

According to Squadron Mail Order, 1/10 = 180mm (click the SCALE drop-down menu to see). It also depends on who makes it. If Asian recast, don't bet a $1 that it'll always be 180mm = 1/10th scale.
