Two Measures of Scale. The size of a miniature, relative to what it is a replica of, is known as the scale of the figure. For no particularly good reason, two different systems are used to rate scale. Some scales are given as a ratio, variously written as either a ratio (i.e., 1:300 or 1.300) or a fraction (i.e., 1/300).
Measure yours to see how close it is to one inch. You should always have a thumb handy for a guide for measuring items under 6 inches (15cm)! In miniatures, 1 inch = roughly 1 foot in standard dollhouse scale (1:12) and it is quite close to the size used for standard 28mm gaming figures for wargaming.
