  2. Scale model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_model

    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. Models are obtained by three different means: kit assembly, scratch building, and collecting pre-assembled models. Scratch building ...

    1:120: 0.1 in: 2.54 mm: Model railways (TT) Derived from the scale of 1 inch equals 10 feet.TT model railroad scale. Used in AD&D Battlesystem Skirmishes rules. 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

  4. 1:144 scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1:144_scale

    1:144 scale is a scale used for some scale models such as micro/mini armor. 1:144 means that the dimensions of the model are 1/144 (0.00694) the dimensions of the original life-sized object; this equates to a scale of 1/2 inch per 6 feet of original dimension. For instance, an airplane 30 feet (9.14 m) in length would be a mere 2.5 inches (63.5 ...

    Scale factor (cosmology) The expansion of the universe is parametrized by a dimensionless scale factor . Also known as the cosmic scale factor or sometimes the Robertson–Walker scale factor, [1] this is a key parameter of the Friedmann equations . In the early stages of the Big Bang, most of the energy was in the form of radiation, and that ...

  8. G scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_scale

    G scale or G gauge, also called large scale ( 45 mm or inches), is a track gauge for model railways which is often used for outdoor garden railways because of its size and durability. G scale trains use a fixed track gauge of 45 millimetres (1.75 in) to accommodate a range of rail transport modelling scales between narrow gauge ( ~1:13 ‒ 1:19 ...

    Ridable, outdoor gauge, named according to the gauge in inches, and scale in inches per foot, for example 7 + 1 ⁄ 4 in (184 mm) gauge, 1.5 inch scale. The gauge is 7 + 12 in (190.5 mm) in the US and Canada, where the scale sometimes is 1.6 inch for diesel-type models. Private and public (club) tracks exist in many areas.
