[edit] Problem with "1/2 inch scale model"

I am a bit confused with what "...a 1/2 inch scale model of the crime scene" means. 1/2" scale model? perhaps they meant a 1/12 scale (definetly not 1/2 scale). anyhow, the point being the term "inch" is throwing of the whole scale factor. scale is generally a fraction, or ratio, not a direct measurement value.

I don't know what the answer is, but I know what it's not. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.185.242.68 (talk) 16:38, 15 March 2007 (UTC).

Half inch, sorry for confusion, fixing it now. Ganfon 21:54, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Hate to be a bother, but the scale is still not correct. Scale has no reference to a unit of measure (in this case inches). 1:6 (1/6th) scale is 1:6 whether you use feet, inches, meters or thumbs.

I am going to remove the "half inch" from the sentence and leave it as stating "The killer works by making a scale model of the crime scene" simply because it is confusing in it's curent state. Golden Dragoon 22:36, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that it means 1/2":1 ft



To miniaturists, 1/2 inch scale means 1/2 inch equals one foot or 1:24. "1/2 inch scale model" means a model where everything is to scale, and the scale is 1:24 or 1/2 inch equals one foot. 128.163.44.217 13:30, 18 May 2007 (UTC)aelfmaer

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.
