It makes conversion a snap and the extra .4 of a mil is beyond the vision of almost all eyeballs. I use metric calipers to measure. metric drill bits for holes Evergreen shapes are produced in metric so it makes scratch building much easier. I measure in imperial and build in metric. So a 6 foot (72 inch) figure is 72 mm tall in scale Thanks Carl I do the same. I also remember Andy (where has gone?) does the same.
