How to tell Scale

[Takama]

Another thread revival. The method i used is the one that Thirzinosaurus showed us on the first post of that thread

1. Take the size of the dinosaur toy. This can be in inches or centimeters. For our example, we will use the original Carnegie Dimetrodon, which is 3 inches long, or 7.6 cm.
2. Look up the actual size of the animal. Dimetrodon was 3 meters, or 11 feet.
3. If you're using feet, multiple the size by 12 to get it into inches (ex. 11x12=132 inches), or by 100 to get centimeters (3x100=300 cm).
4. Divide the number you calculated in 3 by the size of the toy itself (in the same scale).
ex. 132/3=44
Therefore, the figure is 1/44 scale!

If you know something diffrent, this is the place to post it.   Also if you came up with a calculation for a certain figure, feel free to post it

Example. Using the method above
CollectAs 1:15 Tyrannosaurus

45(size of animal) * 12 / 36(The length of toy it in inches) = 15

Solution=  1:15
