  1. The model's linear dimension to the prototype's ✔
  2. The model's weight to the prototype's
  3. The model's price to the prototype's

Why: Scale is the ratio of a linear dimension on the model to the same dimension on the real object, called the prototype.

Huh, didn't know that: Scale is the ratio of a linear dimension on the model to the same dimension on the real object, called the prototype.

The dad joke
That model is on a whole different scale of cute.
