So I am wanting to build a diorama using some plastuct materials.

I am wanting create a partially destroyed factory in 28mm scale(close to "O"scale.

My question is related to the different sizes that you can buy the parts in. For example for the ABS I-Beam there are several sizes numberd from -2 to -24. I believe the -12 (3/8") is the correct size for "O" scale but am not sure.

Can anyone help me out?

Also if you decide to use -12 for one part should you stay with -12 for the rest of the parts?

Thanks,
GG
 
According to Wikipedia, 28mm miniature figure scale comes out to roughly 1/73, which is in between HO and S scales. Multiply the Plastruct dash sizes (1/32") by 2.286 to get the scale size for your diorama. A -12 (3/8") I-beam would scale out to about 27".
