About product

Deluxe conversion ruler (Excel)

A conversion ruler is an aid that turns a measured dimension straight into a dimension in the scale you build in. Instead of dividing the dimension of the real subject and rounding the result, you lay the ruler against it and read the dimension off. It is a tool whose point you appreciate the moment you stop building only to the instructions and start reworking or finishing parts yourself from a drawing or a photograph.

Typical use

  • Converting a dimension from a drawing or a technical description into a dimension on the model.
  • Checking whether an accessory or a part is the right size against the rest of the build.
  • Designing parts of your own from plastic stock and sheet when building from scratch.
  • Measuring figures, crates, drums and equipment for a scene so that they match in size.
  • Checking whether the dimension of a figure or a vehicle fits the scale of a diorama.

What to watch out for

Which particular scales the ruler converts and what its overall length is are not given by the manufacturer in the designation, so please check that on the box if you build exclusively in one less usual scale. The second thing is the principle itself: a conversion ruler is an aid for quick orientation. Where a mating surface and tenths of a millimeter are at stake, calipers and arithmetic are still more reliable.

How it differs from an improvised substitute

An improvised substitute is a sheet of paper with a table of conversions or a calculator on a phone. Both work, but they slow you down and invite an error by a factor of ten, which during a build is the most common and the most expensive mistake. A ruler gives the answer at once and over the drawing, where you need it.

Who it is for

For modelers who rework, convert and build from scratch, for builders of dioramas and for anyone who works with drawings and period photographs.

FAQ

The range of scales is not given by the manufacturer in the designation. If you build in one particular and less usual scale, check it on the box.

Mainly for speed and for the fact that you see the result straight away as a length you can lay against the part. It also does away with the most common mistake, an error by a factor of ten when dividing.

It will not. For accurate measuring of mating surfaces and thicknesses calipers are still the best; a conversion ruler serves for quick orientation and for work with a drawing.

Yes, that is where it tends to be most useful. When you add crates, drums or equipment from various sources to a scene, the ruler quickly shows whether they match in size.
