Divide 12″ by 7.The answer is 1.71. So, each 1/8″ equals almost 1 3/4″ life size. That extra .040 is equal to about the thickness of 13 pieces of paper.Nobody will see the difference. I won’t tell.
Regards.
Frank Borke

The scale is 7/8″ = 1′. If that is the case then what would each 1/8″ equal in life size?
