Druna Skass Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 (edited) OK this is for all you math people... I'm looking into getting either a 1/1700 scale Albion or a MG GM or GP01. I'm leaning more towards the Albion but before I go with it I want to know how big it is. The Albion is 305 meters long so how big would a 1/1700 kit be? Oh and mods, sorry if I put this in the wrong section, yes it's about another anime, but it's also about a model kit, so I wasn't sure where to put it...

Grayson72 Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 That would be: 17.941176470588235 CM or 7.063455303381195 inches Used this link to do it: http://users2.ev1.net/~jimbobwan/scalcalc.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyrox Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 How could you need to use a link to figure this out?! 1/1700 isn't some Greek formula, it is a simple key: 1 inch (or cm, m, mile, etc.) on the model is equal to 1700 inches (or cm, m, miles, etc.) in real life. Simple algebra. Ok, so the real thing is 305m long. But this is 1700 times smaller. Ok, so this is 305 / 1700. That is .179m, or 17.9 cm. C'mon if you know what scale means all you need is a simple calculator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You use a lawn mower to cut your grass or you do it with a pair of scissors? I did use a calculator, there's one at the end of that link, dick nose.

Capt Hungry Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 I should hopefully have mine today, so I can give you an approximation. Unfortunately, I don't have the means to post a pic.............. Gotta get a digital camera one of these days............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Hungry Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Ok. The box is about 11 3/4in long by about 7 1/2in wide by 2 1/2in deep. My guess is the 17.9cm measurement will make it about 7 or 8 inches when completed. The two Gundam units that come with it are really tiny!!!!!!!!! Dunno how it's possible to paint them...... At some point I will get around to building this kit. Definitely like the design of the Albion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
