[edit] 3/4" scale?

Someone should recheck the math on the statements made about the three-quarter inch scale. If 3/4" = 1 scale foot, then 1 inch should equal 16 scale inches, making it 1:16 scale, not 1:18. One or more of the given statements are incorrect. — Joe Webster 12:26, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

By this reckoning, 1:18 scale should be the same as two-thirds inch scale. — Joe Webster 02:10, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree, I really wonder about the fact that this problem seems to occur almost everywhere. I stumbled upon it because 1,5" or 1/8th scale is very popular among miniature railways builders. As a consequence half the size, or 3/4" would mean 1/16th - an officially defined scale by MOROP. 1/18th is a very common scale for model cars. I don't want to judge an "ideal" scale. I'm just interested in how this story of 3/4 equals 1/18th became so popular. --Peter Walt A. 23:56, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

1:18 is also the scale for the smaller Hasbro GI [Li'l] Joes, M & C Toys' Power Team figures and, I think, 21st Century's Ultimate Soldier figures and accessories. — Joe Webster 03:20, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
