scale converter

I was shopping around for some articulated dolls, rabbit figurines and other props for future dioramas, and was getting frustrated with all the mini-math I had to do.

“This doll is 10 cm, is that too tall for a 1:20 build?” or “I have a 1:24 kit, what size should my tree be?”

Ugh.

So I slapped this tool together to help me not go crazy when I look up, for the elventhirtieth time, how tall a 1m64 human being is in a 1:20 scale. It’s 8,2cm. Come on, Amy.
