What is the best way to tell if something is going to work with miniatures that are 1/32 scale (or 54 mm)??
What I mean is, I am building a lot of parts for my diorama from scratch and from items I find at dollar stores, etc. However, I am new to dioramas and am just trying to guess at the right scale (so I know I will get some things wrong). What is the best "rule of thumb" to use if I find something and am trying to figure out if it will work as a 1/32?
For example, in the dollar store I found a barn that would be great for converting (via painting it) into a WWII style building in Normandy. However, I cant tell by looking at it if it is too big or too small for 1/32. I bought it anyway (as it was only a $1), but next time, it would be good to know if there was a good rule of thumb to use to determine if it would work.
If there is, thanks for letting me know!
I appreciate it.
