scale help
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, May 3, 2004 9:37 PM
is there a chart or something out there that has info on building and scenery sizes for different scales. What I'm trying to do is build the armor vehicles and other military vehicles that find and build dios to match. I would love to try the challenge of building them from scratch. does anyone have any tips for me.

There are rulers for different scales- more like measuing tape- that you could use. I wouldn't worry too much though, as trees, bushes, and water areas come in all sizes. Example- You cant have a tree too small and for a tree to be too big it would have to REALLY be big. For scratch building buildings you could use wood, plastic, cardboard, etc. Im not sure I answered your Question completely so let me know if you need more help.Big Smile [:D]

cheech,

Lets assume you want to do a building that is 34 feet long. On the calculator leave the original size at 1:1, put 34 feet in the english units, set the "convert to" to the scale you want 1:32 for example and then calculate. The answer of 12.75 inches is the size of the building you would buildCool [8D]

That is some neat calculatorApprove [^] Thanks for the postSmile [:)]

Hope this helpsBig Smile [:D]
