Well, digitally its easy to scale it up or down. But once you move to solid mediums, it all depends on how well the "sculpt" can be rendered physically. I suspect the limitations on the 1:18 output would be getting the detail into the metal molds and how well the plastic can flow, take shape into those molds, and cool off into the correct look.

1:12 also has an advantage of being easier to paint since if the masks are slightly off, the mistake isn't as noticeable.
