BIG Orbiter Model
Hi there,
A 1:48 scale space shuttle orbiter . . ? That'll be a big 'un! I resized the 1:100 scale Fortezza Atlantis orbiter for A3 European size printer paper, which renders it somewhere in the neighborhood of 1:72. However, there was in fact a Japanese model (rather simple, all white) of the orbiter, that was 1:50 scale. I'll see if I can find it. PM me your e-mail eddress, and I will surely send it to you, if I can locate it on one of my separate drives. I think it was a pdf - hundreds of pages... All the best, Bengt in Sweden :D |

I'm looking forward to see how you will build the 1:48 scale Shuttle, and which version. I have the Fortezza model that I am building at the moment and should get back too (lots of honey-do's and trying to fix things around the house. I did fix the tv, new chips soldered in and it is like new. The printer is next, then the garage door, etc....). Though this is not the right thread, my shuttle is 1:33, so that I can pose it with Ken's X-15 and SR-71. The Fortezza model does not have the landing gear or the cockpit, but that can be fixed. A few pics to show my progress so far.

A 1/33rd-scale Orbiter will be quite an accomplishment, and I look forward to seeing your progress. Which OV are you building? I take it you're building an early-era Orbiter....

Question for you and richkat. Are you printing on large sheets with a print shop or is there an easy way (poster print?) to get the enlarged parts onto a standard sized paper (8.5x11, etc.) and then piece things together?

I'm thinking of going to a print shop to have it printed..think the end result would look better than tile type printing? never done this before so not shure how to go about it. Does anyone out there know of a good place to get an enlargement made(in U.S.) I'll need to enlarge it by 208% (if my math is right) so that means about 18x24? thats a big pc. of paper, maybe print on trimed down poster board?............Rich
