USS Constitution by Sjors - Model Shipways - Scale 1:76

Hi Sjors,

1 inch=25,4 mm

1/8 inch = 25,4/8 = 3,175 mm

1/16 inch = 25,4/16 = 1,5875 mm

1/32 inch =25,4/32 = 0,79 mm

3/16 inch =(25,4/16)x3 = 4,76 mm

3/32 inch =(25,4/32)x3 = 2,38 mm

I hope this helps.

Thanks Mustafa.

That helps a lot.

Holliday’s are over for you?

You are welcome Sjors. I will be at my shipyard again at the end of this month.

Further to Mustafa’s accurate conversions Sjors, I find that a handy approximation to remember is 1/16” = 1.6mm (approx)

 

From there it is easy to work out any other fractional inch (bearing in mind that it is an approximation).

So 1/8” is 2 x 1/16” or 2 x 1.6mm = 3.2mm

and 1/32” is half of 1/16” or half of 1.6mm = 0.8mm

and 1/64” is half of 1/32” or half of 0.8mm = 0.4mm

and so on…

 

Hope that is helpful.
