The Jager Hobby Scale Accessories are accurately scaled to match real-world proportions, ensuring they integrate seamlessly with model boats, cars, trucks, and dioramas. Unlike standard figures with fixed heights, our accessories are modelled to actual scale size, meaning a small sack in 1:14 scale (130mm) will be around 30mm tall, while a large barrel in the same scale will be approximately 68mm tall.
The figure corresponds to a specific scale measurement; for example, a 6-foot man will be accurately represented at the appropriate scale. Expect slight variations across different figures, which add unique character to your model.
