Bone Clones offers a selection of half scale fossil hominid skulls. These scale skulls are perfect for the space and budget-minded, the amateur anthropologist, or simply for the enthusiastic collector. A great gift for your favorite educator or for yourself! Scale models alter the size but not the proportions of an object. Reduced scale models decrease the overall height, width and depth of the model in the same proportion compared to the original. Smaller scale models may appear smaller than one might expect because the volume they occupy, or amount of space they take up, is so far less. For example, the dimensions of a 1:2 scale cast will be one half the original, but the volume will be one-eighth the original. That is, a 4x4x4 cube is 64 cubic feet. A 2x2x2 cube is 8 cubic feet, one-eighth the volume, but one-half the size.
