As for the Saturn V and the shuttle, they look to me like they are 1/200 desktop models (such as what one finds at NASA gift shops).
You might be right, the Saturn V could be a 1/200 model. It depends on the height of the bedside stand. It seems slightly shorter than the stand. Could be a short stand, like 24" or 25". Mine is a bit taller.
I've got a 1/144 Saturn sitting on display in my room and it is rather tall (about 25" tall). The Leia on display looks like the Sideshow Collectibles 1/4 Premium Leia figure, which is 16" tall. A 1/200 Saturn would be about 18" tall and from what I can see, the Saturn is only slightly taller than the Leia. If it was a 1/144 model, it should be 9 inches taller.
Hmm…well, when I do the cypherin’, the 363' height of the Saturn V scales out to 30 1/4" at 1/144, and 21.78" at 1/200. Even so, if it is a shorter bedside stand, then the 1/200 scale does seem to be the best fit. The more I think about it, the more I think the 3 rockets are probably wood because they are much more robust to handle than a built up kit model, which would be a consideration for a TV show. I remember one episode where Wolowitz was actually handling the Saturn V, and without any special care.
