seaboard92 Posted June 17, 2016 Hey guys, I'm a very new member. I have a quick question. I'm designing a model of the Brandenburg Gate and the Berlin Wall on Nov 9, 1989 the fall of the wall. I want to make my model in the scale of my other modular buildings. Does anyone know what the scale I should be looking at. It'll be a very large project that I'm starting. I believe I will start with Check Point Charlie as that is far less detailed. Basically I'm asking what real world measurements are in modular scale. Did I make sense? Thanks in advance. One foot in our world equals how many bricks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tkatt Posted June 17, 2016 The Modular Standard is about 9 bricks per story. If you figure a story of a real world building to be about 10' tall then a foot is about 0.9 bricks. Using this unit converter by Sariel 0.9 bricks to a foot is 1:35 scale. At 1:35 scale the Brandenberg Gate would be 77 bricks tall and 234 studs wide. My math is rusty so I could be way off.

ER0L Posted June 20, 2016 Interesting project, sounds like you'll be occupied with it for the next few years ... Scale is a complex matter, however, my idea is that larger objects may have a smaller scale than smaller objects in the very same layout - even pro modelmakers do that. This means that a very large structure like the Brandenburg Gate could be built in a scale of about 1/60 in a Lego Town surrounding - and will be quite impressive nonetheless (width would be about 1 meter) plus you wouldn't run out of bricks every five minutes. The best way to test that might be LDD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
