Terms of Use

Last updated: 2026-06-13

These terms govern your use of modelcalcs.uk (the “site”). By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

1. What the site provides

The site is a free library of scale-modelling and miniature calculators plus reference content — covering scale conversions, paint and finishing quantities, RC power and gearing, railway and diorama planning, scratch-building dimensions and tools. It is provided “as is” without account registration or payment.

2. Accuracy and your own test piece

Calculators are estimates based on standard modelling scales, established hobby practice, and the figures you enter. Real-world results depend on the specific paints, fillers, glues, kits and components you use, your technique, and how materials behave as they cure or dry. Always test paint mixes, thinning ratios and adhesives on scrap or an offcut, and measure your own parts before cutting, drilling or committing material on a finished build.

Treat every result as a starting point, not a guarantee. Paint coverage, drying times and material quantities in particular vary with brand, temperature, humidity and application, so mix or buy a little extra where you can. We round and estimate conservatively, but we cannot account for every product, scale or modeller, so verify quantities and dimensions against the manufacturer’s data and your own test piece before you commit.

3. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for:

indirect, incidental, or consequential loss arising from your use of the site;
loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, business interruption, or anticipated savings;
wasted materials, ruined parts, or errors or omissions in calculator output;
out-of-date citations where standards or scale conventions have since changed;
third-party links and their content.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under English law.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

scrape the site in bulk using automated tools faster than a reasonable human pace;
attempt to reverse-engineer, modify, or break the site’s services;
misrepresent the site’s content as official guidance or as an endorsement of a product;
use the site for any unlawful purpose.

5. Intellectual property

Page text, charts, UI design, calculator logic, and code are protected by copyright unless stated otherwise. You may:

view, save, and print pages for personal or internal business use;
link to the site from your own site or documents;
quote short extracts with attribution to ModelCalcs.

You may not: republish substantial extracts, scrape at scale for training commercial AI systems, or present the site’s content as your own.

6. Privacy

See our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy for how we handle personal data.

7. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms when the law, our services, or our practices change. The “last updated” date reflects the most recent revision.

8. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
