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).
For example, a US women's size 10 is approximately a men's size 8. US children's sizes run about even to adult men's sizes. So, a children's size 6 is about a men's size 6. EU sizes are not in the same scale as US sizes, so different manufacturers translate the sizes differently. A Dansko EU 40 is sized in US womens as a 10. An Alegria EU 40 is sized as a US womens 9.
