Scale? [Was: Re: The Naboo Fighter.]

Mark^2,
    Another place to find the "right" answer is
http://www.jps.net/minipage/ref/scales.html.  That page also touches on
the
fact that manufacturers have been steadily enlarging their figures over
the
years to show more detail.  The ONLY way to tell if something is the
same
scale that you are using is to actually compare the piece in question
side-by-side with other figures that you consider to be the proper
scale.
    I mostly use 20mm figures for the games I play and have used
vehicles,
buildings, and accessories that are 1/72, 1/85, and HO scales.	Oddly
enough,
the 1/72 Esci plastic figures are slightly smaller than the 20mm figures
I
usually use.
