size of a 1/18 building

Post by Aviatornut.com » Sat Dec 08, 2007 11:53 am

What would be the height of a 1/18 scale 2 story house wall? ….Also size of windows and doors.
I am thinking about building a German two story house and needed help measuring it out.
Thanks for your help.

You can do this yourself. Measure a window say it is 36 inches tall. Our beloved XD is in 1/18 scale.

So.

36 divided by 18 = 2. A 2 inch tall window.
WW2 style ceillins were about 10 foot tall. So that is 120 inches. So
120 divided by 18 = 6.66 inches. That is about 6 5/8 inches.

John Wayne : Mine was taller
