Hello there, could someone please tell me what sizes there are for figures and busts, I know 1-72 1-35 and basically that's it, obviously there are more, I came back from Telford model show, and basically became very intrested (after I came home) in these slightly larger figures, thank you and looking forward to your reply.

You really should post this in the figure forum.

If you are talking historical figures, i.e. those figures not corresponding to the scales of military vehicle models (1/72, 1/48, 1/35) there are a variety of sizes. Historicals are generally spoken of in size, not scale, although they do correspond to a scale and busts may be an exception.

A few common sizes for figures: 54mm, 65mm, 70mm, 75mm, 90mm, 120mm (commonly confused with 1/16 scale), 150mm, 200mm, 250mm.

Common bust scales may include: 1/10, 1/8, 1/6, 1/4 (not too common).

Alec use the switch sites tab near the top of the screen and go to Historicus Forma, when it comes to all things figure related it is a good place to start.

Darren - that's a funny old site, once I've got my way round varied pieces, there is a lot of stuff on there, not quite what I had in mind, but nevertheless loads of information, thank you for that.
