Two Measures of Scale. The size of a miniature, relative to what it is a replica of, is known as the scale of the figure. For no particularly good reason, two different systems are used to rate scale. Some scales are given as a ratio, variously written as either a ratio (i.e., 1:300 or 1.300) or a fraction (i.e., 1/300).
A barbie doll for instance stands 11.5 inches tall. Letâs round up to 12 inches. Looking at the human average for adults, we could say that for every 1 inch of Barbie there are 6 inches of adult human measurement. This ratio is 1 to 6 or 1:6 scale. A Tonner size fashion doll is 16 inches tall and is generally considered to be 1:4 scale. The ball jointed doll that stands about 22 inches tall (SD size) would be 1:3 scale. Most dollhouse miniatures are 1:12 scale. If you have a newborn baby doll that measures 6 inches in length, it would be at 1:3 scale. 18 inches (newborn human baby) divided by 6 inches (newborn doll baby) equals 3. Once you know the scale size of your doll it makes it a lot easier to scale your doll accessories.
