Hey all I have google Fu'd my but off trying to find and answer but can not. I am planning a diorama and would like to know how to convert a aftermarket tre in to a scale height in 1/35 scale.

Example the pre made tre is 4 inches high in the package how tall is that tree in 1/35 scale. thanks in advance.

Google Frank Krenshaws' Scale calc.
It takes all the phew out of the Fu
for those of us that are mathematically challenged!

Thanks guys

I still must be dumb, cant figure it out.. I tried it all still doesnt seem right. I need a model tree that is 6" in height real life to see how big that tree is in feet 1/35. I cant figure out how to do it I keep getting some weird numbers. Sorry for the trouble.

6" times 35 = 210" divided by 12 = 17.5'
