Ahh, finally a reason to have paid more attention to that math teacher you blew off back in your early years.
1:24 scale models of the same object is larger than a 1:75 scale model of that object............correct? They are, believe me. So if you want to make a 24 scale into 75 scale you need to reduce it. You need a number smaller than 1.00. To get that, you must divide 24 by 75. This gives you a value of???? .32 or 32% of the original 24 scale.... Reduce it to 32% remains. Welcome to math 101. Somebody double check me on this;-) Swampfox |

Print it at 32% I must have been typing at the same time as Swampfox.

bah - I HATE math. When I need to do this complicated stuff I just ask my 13 year old.... she is much better at this than me. When she needs paper cut, folded and glued she comes to me. Its a give and take symbiotic relationship
