28.57mm = 1scale metre

1 inch = 2foot 11 inches

or multiply by .343 inches to get a scale foot.

All from fine scale modeler

It's very easy, you just have to multiply the number by the scale you're working with.
For example: 25mm
1/35 scale---------------------25x35=875mm
1/48-----------------------------25x48=1200mm
1/72-----------------------------25x72=1800mm

Just one thing I thought of...

think of where your dio is located. Doors in various parts of Europe have different heights, and have a different height compared to a North American door... and so are other things (bed-sizes and the like), as they are related to the native population.

I never thought of Americans being short (I myself with 1.92 m/ 6'4") am just above average height over here), but when I came over Americans appeared short to me.. I just never noticed it, because relative to their doors they are just as tall as we are.

Here's the simplest way to get where you want to be:
Take your original measurement and multiply it by .028 .

I have a computer program that automatically makes scale measures, from every scale possible, I'll see if I can get the link to download it.
