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.

Bone Clones offers smaller scale models in sets and individually. AD-SET-7 is a collection of miniature busts (1:4 scale) based on CT scans of life-size fossil hominid sculptures by Elisabeth Daynes, KAM-SET-7 includes half (1:2) scale versions of seven primates. Full-scale companions of this set are also available, (Click Here). See below for these and other products, including T. rex skulls. Easily handled and a convenient size for comparative study, these scale models display beautifully and are a great teaching aid.
