Here's a quick way to figure scale. Just type in the appropriate boxes, and the work is done for you.

 For example: A forty foot standard lenght of drill pipe in 1/75 scale works out to be about 5.96 inches. Just what I needed to know to add some deck detail to my Salvirile AHTS kit.  :-))

There's sufficient scales available to keep most modellers very happy. Fantastic, thanks to Jim :-))
