Scales and resizing.

[elliott]

Thank you for this neat little tool. It should prove to be most useful.

i usually print in A3 instead A4, that gives me like 25% more size

Scale you've got divided by the scale you want and then multiply the answer by 100 to get % to print it out at.

Or multiply the first answer by any value or dimension you've got to get the equivalent rescaled value or dimension.

About resizing, I have the doubt. How would you do to make the caterpillars of a tank. Once time for my curiosity I resize the tracks of 1:25 to 1:35 scale, but I did not see a way to cut the parts to build the caterpillars, they got very small.
Any suggestions on how to make these lines. I want to make the details, because I intend to one day try to make a model in the 1:35 scale and paint with the airbrush.

Just for the record, for "caterpillars" juniorbrasil means "tracks" (in Portuguese, the words are homonyms).

Junior, since your question is more about building techniques than general scaling, I'd suggest you repeat it at the Armory section, where it's more likely to be read by AFV experts.

Hello everyone. This thread is very interesting. My question is: how do I change the scale and use less cardboard?
I want to make the USS Reliant at 1/600 or 1/700. I only found it in 1/400, for the quality I want, but it's 31 sheets, at $ 0.30 per copy plus $ 3 in material. They are almost $ 15. I have already done the test of lowering the percentage in the printer and they are still 31 sheets.
Excuse me if I'm ignorant about this topic ... thanks.

You need to print multiple pages of the model onto one piece of paper. Reduce the percentage and see if two pages will fit on one page, or reduce the percentage more to try to fit more pages onto the piece of paper.

Or print multiple pages on large size paper is legal

Thanks for the ideas ... I will apply them

[Ares55]

Apply multiple page printing on a single sheet of A3 paper and and adjusting sizes, I could get to place 6 pages per sheet. Thanks for the support.
