Playscale is not something you are going to see a great deal of, it's rather scarce by comparison to the other scales. So, a real life 12-foot item would be only 24 Inches tall in 1:6 scale

This is the most popular scale by far and what the majority of our inventory is comprised of. 1:12 scale is an easy conversion, if it's 12 ft in real life, the scale version is only 12 Inches tall. Real scale is a new slightly smaller than 1:12 scale for an allegedly better fit.

Half Inch scale is also fairly popular, you will find many of the half in scale items in our store, they will be clearly marked as such. 1:24 scale conversion is also pretty simple, a real-life object which is 12 feet tall would be 6 Inches tall in a half in miniature.

Quarter Inch scale miniatures are not as popular but have quite a dedicated following. A 1:48, most commonly referred to as a 1/4 Inch miniature is easy to convert as well. A real-life object which is 12 feet tall would be only 3 inches tall as a 1/4-inch miniature.

This is most commonly used for scaling items for within your dollhouse. For example, a dollhouse to go in your dollhouse must be 1:12 scale in reference to your dollhouse... therefore the correct scale for the item is 1:144. The real 12 feet tall to 1/144 scale is only 0.83".... very tiny =)
