Micro Entry Chris Gutzmer 1:284 E-10 Prototype Panzerjager

I think I got that size about right. Stupid print driver wouldnt let me pick an exact % so I had to print with #sheets to fit on a page. I chose 6 with two pages of parts to the model so its about 3 times smaller than the original... I printed off full size and small for comparison.

I tried printing this on our new color laser printer at work and I am not happy with the result - will reprint at home. Maybe there I can pick an exact %

Here is a pic of the full size build (not done by me)

I think my major pain point will be the barrel

Chris,

If I may suggest, use regular bond paper for the barrel. It's what I use
any time I have rolled parts (barrels, landing gear struts, etc).

Welcome to the club!

Good choice Chris. I'm sure you plan to get extra points by superdetailing with individual track links - scratchbuilt of course . For the barrel of my 1/100 R&P Su-100 I peeled a Q-tip shaft down to the appropriate size and wrapped it with the barrel piece (printed on bond paper) just one layer thick. Worked out pretty well. I used the same technique on a 1/100 Panther tank turret with equally good results. One of these days I'll finish the model.

good tip on the barrel! thanks BIG NO on the other stuff - it will hard enough as is

I need some help here - I printed at home - MUCH better at 33% - if the original scale is 1/48 whats the new scale? I am dumbfounded by math.... and cant quickly locate my scale converter calculater thingy
