Help about 1/96+1/100+1/76

[Bazzg]

Hi i am building a 1/96 Shipyard Hms victory for parys ie: guns,cannons etc is there much different in this and a 1/100 or 1/76 Scale could i use any of the parts from these ships

Using 1:48 as a bench mark=

scale              Vol            length          1 inch

1:48                 1                 1               0.0208

1:76                0.25             0.63           0.0131

1:96               0.125            0.5             0.0104

1:103             0.10              0.465         0.009

 

a model is a 3D

while going from 1:48 to 1:96  means that a part is 1/2 the length, it is also 1/2 the width and 1/2 the depth so the size of the part is 1/8

 

@ 1:96  a part that is 1:76 would be twice the scale

1:100 is probably close enough not to be noted.

Many thanks

What do you mean by "the size is 1/8" ? The volume of the part ?

 

1/96 and 1/100 are close enough, there is only a 4% difference in length, however, the difference between 1/100 and 1/76 is 24% !

 

In other words, piece of 100 cm length would be in 1/100 scale 1 cm long, in 1/96 scale 1.04 cm, but in 1/76 scale 1.32 cm

yes, by size, I mean volume.  Although, the difference in any one dimension is 1/2,  A model of ...say.. HMS Victory  at 1:48 .   compared to a model of the same ship at 1:96 -  it would take 8 models @ 1:96 to fill the volume occupied by the 1:48 copy.
