Are the humans there also 12:1? [[User:King Pando|King Pando]] ([[User talk:King Pando|talk]]) 15:55, 15 June 2026 (UTC)<br />

: 12:1 means 12x in dimensions. I think the joke is that the miniature art builders are so obsessed with miniatures that 1:12 scale is their"normal", so 12:1 from their perspective is a normal size from everyone else's perspective.[[Special:Contributions/135.180.173.62|135.180.173.62]] 16:44, 15 June 2026 (UTC)<br />

My understanding of the gag is that the miniature builders are constructing a 1:12 model of the Moon to go with Tethys's "scale model of Earth."</div>69.161.18.194
