If you create new pages, keep in mind that the scale pages urls are named "1ton" where n is the number, e.g. 1to12 = 1:12 or 1/12 scale. In the page url the to is used instead of / or : because they are illegal url characters.
My favourite scale is 1:16th. I like that it's not so easy to get things in that scale. If I had a dollhouse in the 1:12th scale I would have had a hard time limiting myself:)
I see by the way that Lundby says that they are in 1:18th scale, but I always calculate with 1:16 when I decorate my Lundby houses.
Earlier, when their dolls and some of their furniture was a bit smaller, Lundby also said they was in 1:16th scale.. Either they or I am confused about how to calculate scales..
I'm also confused about the Lundby scales but anyway the difference is not that big. Sometimes the bigger items look better than the correct scale, I have used Re-ment stuff (1:6) in my 1:12 dollhouse (e.g. the crystals in the wiki logo) and I think they look great.
I have measured some of the supposed 1:6th scale re-ment items and found it to be closer to 1:8th scale, which makes it more usable also for smaller dollhouses.
My most comfortable scale is 1:6, but I do adore miniatures at 1:12 scale.
pubdoll, Re-ment now seems to be all over the board scale-wise. I bought a set and it was said to be appropriate for1:6th scale. It was not. It was 1:12th. Of course, being a miniaturist, I put it to good use. But, now, with Re-ment I never know what scale I am truly getting and the big retailers are no help.

What is your favourite scale? Any that you don't like at all?

At the moment my favourite is 1:24 because it is the newest for me and also quite challenging because you don't find so many ready items.
