Diorama builders dream

[bill lanfear]

I stumbled onto a goldmine for diorama builders while looking for dimensions for gas pumps.  Check  out this site!  It has measurements for everything, including my gas pumps! Scroll down to categories, select what you want, select something within your options and bingo!  nice pic, height, width, and depth sizes!  They are props, but should be close enough to the real deal.

Bill, I just looked closely at the Bentwood chairs .

Props Information

Item:	04699
Quantity	36
Height	35″
Width	16″
Depth	17″ This isn't going to work too well in 1-24th or 1-25th scale .

Sorry, I didnt mean for the actual products to be used in a diorama, I was giving modeler's a site to get sizes of things they may want to build.  They give you 1:1 sizes so you can scale it down to what you need.  I use this converter, scroll down to bottom and put in your measurements. http://www.scalemodelersworld.com/online-scale-converter-tool.html

35" would be 35.56 mm in 1/25 scale

16" would be 16.26 mm

17" would be 17.27 mm

I have not confirmed their sizes to the real stuff but from what I have looked at, they seem to be realistic sizes. Some are vague measurements for weird shaped things but it will give you an idea at least.

Neat site. Lots of cool things. For stage and screen, Some items I understand you’d want as props, but some items, like chairs, park benches, etc. why not just use the real thing? But anyway, useful info.
