  2. Opposite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposite

    Opposition is a semantic relation in which one word has a sense or meaning that negates or, in terms of a scale, is distant from a related word. Some words lack a lexical opposite due to an accidental gap in the language's lexicon. For instance, while the word "devout" has no direct opposite, it is easy to conceptualize a scale of devoutness ...

  3. List of scale model sizes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scale_model_sizes

    Original nominal 25 mm figure scale; though a 6-foot human in 1:87 is closer to 21 mm. 1:82: 3.717 mm An intermediate scale (HO/OO) intended to apply to both HO and OO scale train sets. Also used for some military models 1:80: 3.810 mm HOj scale. Very close to wargaming 20 mm figure scale (20 mm is actually 1:80.5). [10] 1:76.2: 4 mm: Model ...

  4. Miniature model (gaming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniature_model_(gaming)

    Heroic scale of 28 mm miniatures introduced by Games Workshop for Warhammer 40,000 figures. Close to S scale model railroads. Due to Scale creep, modern 30 mm figures may be similar to 1:64 models , but appear larger due to bulky sculpting and thick bases. At an exact scale of 1:60 (30.48 mm), it matches common battlemap grids where 1 inch ...

  5. Scaling (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaling_(geometry)

    Each iteration of the Sierpinski triangle contains triangles related to the next iteration by a scale factor of 1/2. In affine geometry, uniform scaling (or isotropic scaling [1]) is a linear transformation that enlarges (increases) or shrinks (diminishes) objects by a scale factor that is the same in all directions (isotropically).

  6. Scale model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_model

    A scale model of the Tower of London. This model can be found inside the tower. A scale model of a hydropower turbine. A scale model is a physical model that is geometrically similar to an object (known as the prototype). Scale models are generally smaller than large prototypes such as vehicles, buildings, or people; but may be larger than ...

  7. Similarity (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Similarity_(geometry)

    Similar figures. In Euclidean geometry, two objects are similar if they have the same shape, or if one has the same shape as the mirror image of the other.More precisely, one can be obtained from the other by uniformly scaling (enlarging or reducing), possibly with additional translation, rotation and reflection.

  8. Model figure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_figure

    A custom model of French soldier Jean Nicolas Sénot (fr:Jean Nicolas Sénot). A model figure is a scale model representing a human, monster or other creature. Human figures may be either a generic figure of a type (such as "World War II Luftwaffe pilot"), a historical personage (such as "King Henry VIII"), or a fictional character (such as "Conan").

  9. Simon Egan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Egan

    Egan's contribution to Forge World's output of large scale figures and busts, which were not meant for gameplay, was significant and included the large model of Abbadon. Most of these figures are of the 75mm scale [1] - at this scale, a model of an average sized human male is 75mm from the soles of the feet to the eyes - but they do vary. Egan ...
