As a carpenbter you would think that I would know this, but...
I am making some buildings, and figured the following for their height:
1:35, so 10 feet is 120 inches. Therefore 120/35 = 3.43 inches. So in 1/35 3.43 inches ought to be 10 feet correct? So two storeys ought to be around 7 inches and add on an inch for floors, 8 inches?
Was the ceiling in wwii era europe higher than 10' like 12'?

Hi

Lots of sites on the internet for scale calculating.

Check this one which I got random Googling "Scale Calculator".

your calculations seem right to me. as far as the ceilings go, i would think 10 feet is about right. that is if you are talking about a home versus a city building. a city building could have 12 foot ceilings and in some cases even higher...hope this helps with your question.
