I thought about it and think the 1/12 scale might be a little small for me. I think I will go with the 1/6 scale. That is 1 inch equals 6 inches. Will have twice as much body to the scale lumber than 1/12 scale. May be easier to break down with an inch ruler.

1 inch = 6 inches
7/8 inch = 5 1/4 inches
3/4 inch = 4 1/2 inches
5/8 inch = 3 3/4 inches
1/2 inch = 3 inches
3/8 inch = 2 1/4 inches
1/4 inch = 1 1/2 inches
1/8 inch = 3/4 inches

I think I have that right doing brain calculations.

I may just do a farm spread layout in the backyard. Log cabin house, Post and beam barns with vertical board and batten siding, post and beam horse and implement shed with board and batten, Build the hen house and hawg pen the same style as the barns.

May even put in crops. They sell 1/6 scale seeds for 1/6 scale crops.

Maybe see If I can get 1/6 scale live poultry and livestock.
