**dustey** · #1 10-14-2007, 06:54 PM

I downlaoaded a free pattern that is supposed to be in one inch scale but it prints out a diff scale on each page.. obviosly i cant build it lol.. its of a house decorated for halloween.. i was wondering(since i cant seem to scale it right) if someone would be willing to scale it and maybe put it in adobe format for me if i emailed you the files..
it would be greatly apreciated since i was planning on giving it to my mom as a gift

Sorry I can't help with the converting files, but did you check to make sure your printer is set up to print actual size and not scale to fit page. I've overlooked that a couple of times and got some wierd results.

I agree with whulsey, I think you may well have 'fit to page' selected in error.

Thank you to Jim Nunn for helping rescale this model. I will post a build pic tomorrow. Ill post it here since I realy dont know were to post a model like this youll see what I mean once it is posted. This was a very messed up free model as Jim can attest to. Im glad he got it figured out for me i was about to bin the thing but it has been worth it > my mom is going to love it and im very happy with the build
Thanks again jim and all who took a stab at helping

the base in progress

yes its all paper except the little pumpkin and the little skull on the bedside table if you can see it this is all in 1/4 scale what started out as very frustrating hhas turned into a fun little project. i incorperated some of my model train supplies for the base(grass and rock walkway) ill post a completed build in a day or 2

Dustey,

Your welcome, and I am pleased that you are having fun building the house. You have added a lot to the model and it looks great.
