For those of you who like to build wargaming terrain and would like to calculate the correct size of building, object or figure to match the scale of your miniatures, here is a calculator that you can use to work out the dimensions in either 25mm or 28mm scale.

This calculator (found below to downlad) can be used to help work out the scale dimensions in either 25mm or 28mm scale.

To use it, all you need to know are two values:

1. The size in either feet and inches or metres of the original builing, object or person.
2. The scale in which you want to calculate the size.

If you specify the dimensions in feet (UK / US imperial measurements), then you can express the value in one of two ways, as follows:

1. In feet, for example, 5.5, to represent five and a half feet.
2. In feet and inches, for example, 5.00 (feet) 6.00 (inches), to represent five and a half feet.
   

If the dimension is in metres, the you just sepcify 1.55, for example.

And that's all there is to using it.
