Miniature Scale & Terrain Converter

Convertisseur d'échelle gratuit pour figurines et décors.

Quand l’utiliser

Use when building scale terrain — castle walls, cliffs, dungeon corridors. The foam-layer count is the practical "how many sheets do I cut?" answer.

Comparaison

Most scale converters target railroad modelers. This one adds tabletop gaming scales and a foam-layer counter.

Enter your values below. Calculations run locally as you type.

Comment ça marche

Convert any real-world dimension to your model scale by dividing by the scale ratio (e.g., 1:60 for 28mm tabletop).

Foam-layer count is the scaled height divided by foam thickness, rounded up.

HO scale (1:87) is the standard for model railroads — handy for building modular dungeon tiles.

FAQ

What scale is 28mm tabletop?

Roughly 1:60 (a 6-ft tall miniature is 28 mm). Slightly heroic — 32mm scale (1:56) gives chunkier proportions.

Why count foam layers?

Walls and cliffs are usually built by stacking foam sheets. Knowing the count helps you cut materials.

How do I convert a real measurement to 28mm scale?

28mm heroic scale is roughly 1:56, so divide the real-world dimension by about 56. A 6-foot (1828mm) doorway becomes roughly 33mm tall on the table.

Can I mix 28mm and 32mm miniatures?

They are close enough that terrain often works for both, but figures placed side by side will show a noticeable height difference. Pick one scale for characters that need to look consistent and reserve the other for scenery.

Exemple concret

Entrée

Real height 30 ft, 28mm tabletop, 12 mm foam.

Sortie

152.4 mm in scale. 13 foam layers.

30 ft × 304.8 mm/ft = 9,144 mm real. Divided by the 1:60 ratio of 28mm scale = 152.4 mm. At 12 mm per foam layer, you need 13 stacked sheets.

Pièges courants

  • Bonded foam stacks add height from glue layers — drop a layer for tall walls.
  • Scale ratios are approximate (28mm "heroic" is closer to 1:56 than 1:60).
  • Skew the output up by 5% if you plan to texture-paint over the structure.
