Oh, and its counterpart in Europe would be called METRICS. :P

I always build 1mm to the inch. 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

I do the same. I also remember Andy (where has gone?) does the same.

Whole villages in 1/25 scale, eh? Wish they'd sell more of that stuff here.
