Wikipedia has a brief history of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/00_gauge" rel="nofollow">British OO</a> scale which mentions British OO uses the same track gauge as 1:87th HO scale - which I wasn't aware of. Possibly that's where the confusion arises. Hi Chris, the Linka molds are designed to work with Hornby Dublo with is British OO or 1:76th.

I thought all the German Marklin and Fleishman stuff was at this ratio; please correct me if I am wrong. Anyway, the Rocco assembled models are believe are in this scale. Flames of War figures are actually very close to this scale. I read that someone was actually using the Rocco models instead of Battlefront as they were truer to scale. My understanding of the Battlefront tanks is that they are +-120% in height which I believe is done to match the total height of their foot figures taking into account the height of the soldier's base too. This would make the buildings very close to scale if they are in the 1/87 scale ratio. 1/76 and 1/72 are in my experiences, larger than the HO German train lines, models and other figures that I have.

We typically play 28mm scale figures and buildings but use 1/56th scale vehicles so they don't take up too much table space while gaming. The doors are far too small for Mordhiem, but you could use the basic textures (brick, stone walls and slate roofs) for Mordheim, plus the windows too I suspect since the windows in Fantasy/Medieval buildings are typically quite small because of the difficulty of making glass. Hey! Nice to see you're just getting into Mordheim too judging from your blog. Mordheim (along with Necromunda, the 40k equivalent) are two of Games Workshop's finest games imho. I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself...particularly playing the Skaven. Ashton, 28mm is around 1/48th scale.

What fraction (1/*th) is 28mm? (I believe that's the measurements for Mordheim/Warhammer.) Very impressive.
