What scale do you guys like best for your diamond plate plastic card?
Doing some new Ork conversions and would like to have it look "right"

I am new to using plasticard and would also be interested in knowing that.

1:48 would technically be closest (a grid of around 1mm), but even GW themselves obviously just use whatever's available - some stompa bits use a much larger scale pattern which in real life would be almost worthless in providing a grip on a metal surface(the whole point of diamond plate).

I just got in some 1:24 and it seems fine, about 4 sets of diamond under each foot. It's Jett double diamond plate, g scale

Yeah, so long as several 'diamonds' fit under a ork boot, it's fine (and makes sense).

Thanks all!
