Shows you my new bus size compared to our usual vehicle size... my 1/35th armor isn't on there but just a tad different then that 1/32nd scale.

It is a nice chart Joe.
I've used the one for trains quite often when I was modeling those. G scale is pretty much 1/24 IIRC.

I've used G scale stuff in some 1/24 and 1/25 dioramas. Not too much difference between 1/32 and 1/35, is there? I haven't done much of either scale in the last half century.

Not too much at all really...  |

Scale difference between 1/32 and 1/35 is 4%. A 1/32 figure in a 1/35 scene would be a particularly tall figure, but not outside the normal range of human variability. Flip that around and the dude is on the short side, like my 5' 5" paternal grandfather who got the nickname "Shorty" at the Kaiser shipyard here in WW2 (the name is still emblazoned on his battered aluminum hard hat, a family treasure). With vehicles it can get a bit more complicated. A 1/35 tank looks OK on a 1/32 truck, like that Chilean Mack thing I did. But a small scout car next to a 1/32 fighter plane might look too small. Of course, if you have the space you can always play with depth perception by placing smaller-scale items in the background, but that takes several feet of depth and that's usually the preserve of museum displays.

Car builders often discuss how a 1/25 scale engine looks out of place in a 1/24 scale engine bay, and vice versa.

Depends on the engine and how much you add to it to make it fuller in the engine bay!

A friend of mine who not only has sculpted/cast figures as a business (The Fusilier) and turned his hand to photography has often mixed scales up for his photographs,mainly a figure with one or two planes in the back ground,very effectively
