Fallout 3 Food props scaling HELP/Suggestions

[Johnboyhardy]

Hey guys,
Wondering if anyone knows the correct scaling i.e. width and height for:

Sugar Bombs

Dandy Boy Apples

Blamco Mac and cheese

Any help would be much appreciated =)

Im guessing its supposed to be big like a cereal box but a few peeps I've seen have it as being quite small!! Any ideas/knowledge?

I don't believe anyone could tell you the legitimate scale because in video games object are 9/10 times larger than they would be in real life in comparison to your character height. What I would do is just base them next to an object you can reference. So for instance.. Sugar Bombs are in fact a cereal (in the game) take the other objects and place them next to sugar bombs and take a screenshot.
Using real life measurement of a real cereal box, scale the other objects accordingly.

That is exactly what I do when making guns base the but to trigger off standard length of pull at 14 to 14 .5 in or just use the length of the characters arm or hand holding the weapon in game

Thought that was the case, looks like I'm gonna have to rescale empty samurai's templates. Funny thing is in the game both sugar bombs and abraxo are smaller than a bottle of nuka cola, so known question to the ether is should I go game scale or real life scale????

If i was doing it, I would scale them after the 1950s sizes of cereal boxes.
Today everything is so much bigger. In the 50s they were much smaller.
This site:
1950s Kelloggs Corn Flakes Cereal Box With Space Cadet & Aircraft Carrier Premium Offers - TPNC
Claims that the cereal box measures about 6-3/4'' x 9'' x 2-1/4''
Also look for sizes for vintage washing powder boxes. The ones i found was
8 1/2" x 6" x 2 1/4.
