Rolls Royce for Size (Scale or Whatever)

This is a quick size comparison: (for a webfriend)
 
The Rolls Royce Armoured Car here is 1:56 (or 28mm).
 
The figure (Valiant Miniatures) is 1:72, often equated to 20mm.
 
 

Gamewise these are just about useable together, particularly if you base the figure appropriately.

However, I do understand that Valiant Miniatures are large-ish compared to other 1:72 manufacturers so the size mismatch may not improve.

Can anyone help here?

  1. I measured up some Valiant plastics against 25mm RAFM Colonial and Riel Rebellion figures and they were pretty much the same size. I would call Valiants "true" 25mm rather than 20mm or 28mm.

    1. Yes, the one figure I have here is 25mm from foot to top of head so is definitely not 20mm.

  2. There's a thread on TMP about Valiant: http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=101342

    1. Simply to say that Valiant figures are proper 1:72 scaled , 25mm in size whereas many other manufacturers who say they are 1:72 or 1:76 and clearly are not as well as some 20mm manufacturers say they 1:72 or 1:76 when they are not either.

  3. Dear Jim,

    It's reassuring to see a properly proportioned officer with a map, adopting a heroic pose and pointing!

    1. I like the pose too but am not sure if I can say that he is properly proportioned.

      He is if you are in a properly scaled 1:72 or 25mm world but not if you are in a 1:56 or 28mm world or even a poorly scaled 1:72 or 1:76 or 20mm.
