Figure Size : Comparisons

Beginning in about 1967 the Scruby catalog included a picture reference for the various figure sizes offered by Jack Scruby. This picture fits in nicely with the current topic of ‘Figure Size’.

The following text and image have been scanned from the 1968 edition of ‘Jack Scruby’s Catalogue of Military Miniatures’.

Figure Size : Comparison

In our illustration above of the various scales of Scruby Miniatures, you’ll note the dotted lines. Actually, in measuring tin soldiers, one measures from the bottom of the feet to the top of the head. The stand and the man’s headgear are not counted. Thus, a 30mm miniature which is supposed to stand about l l/4 inch tall, with hat piece on will stand higher, depending also on the thickness of the stand it is placed on.
