Conversion Table: True Size ( feet ) to Scale Size (Inches) The following table, developed by Ken Dorr, allows you to convert dimensions on prototype, measured in feet , to dimensions on a model, measured in inches. To use the table, find the prototype dimension in feet in the left hand column. Then translate across until you reach the Scale column for the Scale of your model, and read off the Scale dimension in inches. If the dimension you are looking for is not on the chart, you can find it by adding two other dimensions. Example #1 : A plank on the original ship is 20 feet long. To determine the length of this plank at 3/8"=1' Scale , find the row for 20 feet , then translate across to the column labeled 3/8. The value at the intersection (7-1/2) is the length of the Scale plank in inches. Example #2: A ship's boom on the prototype is 38 feet long. You which to determine the Scale length of the boom at 3/16"=1' Scale .
