I'm making a scale model of the Sumo Hall in Japan for a school project, and need to know what the dimensions (width, height, legnth, etc.) are. Also, what would be a good scale to use to fit it in a 12"x12" box?

A dohyo is 5.40m x 5.40m http://www.sumoforum.net/glossary.html#D just under 18 feet on a side. Allowing the same space for audience all the way around would make a mimimum of 56 feet on a side. Cheating a bit, if the sides of the box are to be the walls of the room, then making it 48 feet on a side would allow 1:48 scale. If your plan was to make it lift out of the box to show the outside, then 1:87 or HO scale might be a good choice.
