Why don't you get a Button Measure it in cm or mm And Divide it by 3 ............. it Must Be Pretty Close for what they use in that Scale....

It would seem the most logical thing to do.

May I ask as to why you want such measurements. I would have thought these would be inadequate reference material for the custom work you are currently involved with.

Whatever you do - DO NOT use CM button sizes for reference. They are horribly out of scale. (Indy's buttons were enormous compared to what they should be).

Basically - measure a full size button and divide that measurement by 3.

Similarly, all full size measurements can be divided by 3 to give you the 1:3 equivalent. Chris Reeve was 76 inches tall so a 1:3 statue of him needs to be 25.3 inches tall.

Hope that helps.

Chris
