Let the people that have worked on this give you an idea on paper weights. But for scaling pdf's you can go into your (most, anyway) printer settings and change the print % to what you need as long as it will handle the paper size you need. Not sure exactly what you mean by 1:75 since I would read that as 75% of original size of pdf.

MBC,

Do you want to increase the Scale from 1:100 to 1:75? You'll enlarge to 133%.

Alfonso recommends 110# Cardstock, or 199GSM for his ISS Models.

Hope this helps!

Alan

Thanks for posting the scale conversion chart. Between a hard drive replacement a few months ago, then switching to Win 10 my copy went into limbo.

What is the percentage for convert 1:/100 to 1/1 . . . Is it 10000%? The [www(dot)wwi-models(dot)org/misc/scalecon(dot)html ( Change dot to . )] don't do it to 1/1 (only 1/24 maximum)




And is this threat dead?

I am not sure whether you are referring to scaling up or scaling down? Not that it should matter here, but surely the multiplier or divisor is 100? If a model is scaled at 1/100, then to retrun it to the size of it's real-world equivalent you would multiply all the dimensions by 100. Alternatively, to scale a real-world item down to 1/100 you would divide any dimension by 100.

Try experimenting with either of these scale converters, using the dimensions you have in mind:

I don't think that this thread is dead. Hans only has so much free time and right now he has darned little of it. He posts when he can. His work continues to be of a high caliber.
