A scale is simply the ratio of one quantity of a model to that of it prototype. A scale of 1:38 signifies that the for every one unit, the size of the prototype is 38 units larger. Therefore if the width of the base of the model (eg a rectangle representing a rectangular building is 1m, the length of the building with exact properties as that of the model, in terms of shape, wil be 38.
