Works with 15 mm miniatures where a 6 foot man would equal 15.24 mm 1:110: 2.771 mm Used for some model ships, aircraft and diecast cars. 1:108: 2.822 mm An historic size for ships, also used for rockets and spacecraft. 15 mm figure scale for wargaming is considered interchangeable with this scale. [9] 1:100: 3.048 mm
This designates that 1 inch (or centimeter) on the model represents 8 such units on the prototype. In English-speaking countries, the scale is sometimes expressed as the number of feet on the prototype corresponding to one inch on the model, e.g. 1:48 scale = "1 inch to 4 feet", 1:96 = "1 inch to 8 feet", etc.
Ranges roughly from 1:100 scale to 1:122 scale. Equivalent to TT scale in miniature railroading. 18 mm: ≈3.2 mm: ≈1:100 – 1:90: Heroic scale of 15 mm miniatures, such as the Napoleon At War range. 20 mm: ≈3.6 mm: ≈1:90 – 1:72: 1:87 is roughly HO scale. Highly popular for World War II wargaming, 1/76 is roughly the same scale as 4 mm ...
Using 32 mm (1.26 in) - 0 gauge - track, there is an extensive range of 16 mm to the foot scale [1:19] live-steam and other types of locomotives, rolling stock and accessories. Many of these models are dual gauge, and can be converted to run on 45 mm ( 1.772 in ) track ( gauge 1 ), and radio control is common.
1 m – length of Rafflesia arnoldii, the largest flower in the world; 1 m – height of Homo floresiensis (the "Hobbit") 1.15 m – a pizote (mammal) 1.5 m – height of an okapi; 1.63 m – (5 feet 4 inches) (or 64 inches) – height of average U.S. female human as of 2002 (source: U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC))
Alternatively 1.1/8 inch per foot is adopted, only Australia for ease of conversion. allowing a scale of 3/32 inch per full size inch. This results in an oversize locomotive and often negates building inside valve gear locomotives (such as the GWR King Class 4-6-0) due to frame width restrictions caused by 5 in ( 127 mm ) gauge track.
[1] In such cases the scale is dimensionless and exact throughout the model or drawing. The scale can be expressed in four ways: in words (a lexical scale), as a ratio, as a fraction and as a graphical (bar) scale. Thus on an architect's drawing one might read 'one centimeter to one meter', 1:100, 1/100, or 1 / 100 . A bar scale would ...
