Last Man on te Moon

Hi, Nando.
If the Lem is 1/48 scale and if the astronaut is 1/12 scale, shouldn't I resize this last at 1/4th, that is 25%?
Thank you

With the pages scanned You can resize them, reducing them at 1/3rd. Be aware do not to share the scanned images for do not violate the copyright.

Otherwise, if You have a printer that give You the possibility to scale down the output, you have simply to print at 33%.

I hope this could help You.

My model is about 15 cm tall (5.9 inches). I estimated that a man is 180 cm tall (70.9 inches), therefore 180 / 15 = 12.

You are right: to downsize the model at 1/48 scale You have to reduce it by 25%. My brain is aging more then I believe. :(

About a tiny astronaut. I found in this french forum this astronaut model. Ok It isn't paper and it isn't american, but it could be on the moon also.

You can rate the size of a 1/48 astronaut, thinking that it is at 1/24 scale.

The LK model is a true masterpiece.

Best, Nando

Other than FANTASTIC. I am stumped for words. Wow! FANTASTIC. Sorry! Had to say it twice.

Thanks for sharing
Cheers

Ok, I think that the Mooscape it's ok now.

First I carved the foot prints to give a stable base at the Astronaut.



Then I used this "device" to flatten the paper machè



Finally I masked the base to do the last velum of dust ...

Another league of paperwork! Looking fine!

The base came out really nice...can't wait to see how it looks with the astronaut in place!

Cheers!
