What is a 1/12 Scale?

A 1/12 scale is a type of scale commonly used in models and miniatures, where one unit (such as an inch or a centimeter) on the model represents 12 units on the actual object. For example, if a model car is 1/12 scale and the actual car is 12 feet long, the model would be 1 foot long. This scale is particularly popular in dollhouses, where it allows for a high level of detail while still keeping the model a manageable size.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Step 1: Calculate the scale size (SS):

\[ SS = \frac{24}{12} = 2 \text{ inches} \]

Therefore, the scale size (SS) is 2 inches.
