You all probably know about these, but how'd these look in the back of a supply truck or in a depot?

Hoist That Crate!

Nice

This man is a great guy to buy from--he makes his own stuff:

Smokey Mountain Miniatures

Approx. what scale are HO and N ?? I mean what does that compare to like 1/35? I remember my boys having some HO trains sets when they were little, but never thought about what scale that would convert to.

HO is 1/87 scale.....
N is about half that, or about 1/160

correct, these parts would only be suitable for 1:72/1:76 models...... In railroad terms, Scale I would be closest to 1:35/1:32 .

Hi Guys,

I think it is perfectly OK to mix-N-match crates regardless of scale. A big crate in 1/72 could be, say, shipping for fragile items like sighting spares in 1/35. Photos of war debris I've seen show all sizes.

Model RRing's 1/32 is known as No. 1 gauge. Dunno why. Some diorama possibilities: R&R?



G Gauge is generally 1/25, but 1/20.x - 1/25 is marketed as G. Civilians

Various detail items

I agree with JPTRR - you can mix and match scales. You do have to be careful and think about it. Not every box is the same size. Just watch for things like labels and wood patterns etc to make sure they are convincing together.

Similar discussions revolve around Tamiya's 1/35 scale figures and VP's 1/32. Yea - they are a lot closer to the same size but the concepts apply.

Look at this unrealistic mixing of figure sizes!!!

1/32 Mixed With1/35

I wholeheartedly agree with the above... For example: I am 1,90 m... translated to 1:35, this would be 5,42 cm.
Somebody measuring 1:70 translates to 4,85 cm this is a difference of 6 mm, within perfectly accetable body measurements.
