My suggestion is to check a model train store. They have EVERYTHING to sclae. I'm not sure about furniture, but I know they have people to scale.

they have all kinds of people, furniture and trees
see their catalog

yeah but the model train scales run different from the architectural scales. HO is 1:87, and the major ones tend to multiply by 2 or 1/2 from there.

there is a good model railway store in l.a

and when i was there i saw the guy who played arnold from different strokes!

freakin crazy

For metric scales...

according to the microformmodels webpage, you can use railroad model "O" scale for your 1/4" work, so that may be your best option.

hmm...thanks Dr. Pixel. although i'm not entirely sure what the rational is behing HO (1:87) being the same as 1:27.

1:120 i mean

I guess thats the closest architectural/engineering scale they could match to the HO scale? got me on that one...

HO Scale is equivalent to 1/8" : 1'

This might help:

"O" scale = 1:43, whereas 1/4" scale = 1:48
This difference isn't very important for things like trees, though it is noticeable in cars, furniture and people.
