What if scale models

Obviously, the larger the denominator in the scale fraction, the smaller the model will be in relation to the real thing, and, therefore, the smaller the scale.

With the basics out of the way, you start to get into the wonderful world of model scales. Scale figures are often denoted by millimeter mm scale that developed from miniature wargames.

This ostensibly refers to the height of the figure from the top of the head to the feet. Model railroading scales add a further twist to the story. One last bit of advice: If you plan to build multiple models that have a relationship to each other, perhaps in a diorama, you should keep the scale constant.

If not, the figures will either look unnaturally small or gargantuan in comparison to the tank. Yes, some modelers use models of different scales to cleverly force perspective and create the illusion of distance in their scenes.

However, learn to walk before trying to sprint. Where do you go from here? The choice of modeling scale is entirely up to your preferences and may affect the sorts of models you tend to build.
