Why True Scale Sets Battle Honours 3D Apart
At Battle Honours 3D, True Scale is more than a concept, it’s a promise. Our figures are sculpted with precise proportions. Heads, hands, helmets, swords and muskets all adhere to correct human ratios. No oversized gear just for show. That means our models sit naturally next to minis from other manufacturers, without odd mismatches or unexpected size shifts. Heads look normal, not oversized bobble heads!
Scale creep is a common issue in the hobby. It’s what happens when lines claiming the same nominal scale gradually drift larger over time. Heads get bigger, swords longer, proportions shift. That’s often why older and newer figures in your collection don’t look right together. True Scale stops this. We measure each figure from the base of the foot to the bridge of the nose and base all gear proportions on that measurement. This method keeps our minis true to scale and compatible across brands.
Here’s what hobbyists are saying:
“Great addition to existing figures such as Italeri. Good quality and good delivery time.”
“Very detailed model which you wouldn’t think was 3D printed it’s so good.”
Our blog on our website covers feedback on scale clarity and compatibility:
“Some customers noted inconsistencies in figure sizes compared to other manufacturers… measure from the base of the foot to the bridge of the nose… to make sure the new figures will fit seamlessly.”
That’s True Scale in action, no guesswork, just matched proportions.
Simple Steps to Get a Perfect Match To Other Models In Your Collection
-
Measure a figure from your existing collection—from base of foot to bridge of nose.
-
Choose the closest scale available from us (e.g. 20mm, 25mm, 28 mm, 40 mm, 54 mm, 75 mm).
-
At checkout, leave a note with your measurement and brand you want to match.
-
We’ll check the fit and adjust print scale as needed so your new Battle Honours 3D figures sit flawlessly alongside your favourites.
True Scale means no scale creep surprises, no awkward size differences, and perfect integration with your collection. That’s the Battle Honours 3D standard.
What’s True Scale?
True Scale means every part of a miniature (head, hands, weapons, and gear) is in proportion to the rest of the figure, based on consistent measurements. At Battle Honours 3D, we use the measurement from the base of the foot to the bridge of the nose to keep all our figures and equipment properly sized. This prevents exaggerated features and avoids the gradual increase in size known as scale creep. The result: miniatures that look right, fit seamlessly with other collections, and maintain the original intention of the scale.
