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?

Interesting project, sounds like you'll be occupied with it for the next few years ... :wink:

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.
