Scale Conversion Program
 
New for you guys I have a nice program my good friend Reuben gave me. It is a scale converter that a lot of it covers the small plastic sized models but can be used for our bigger models. I havent got to play much with it but Reuben used it to tell me what percentage I needed to blow up the 1/48 scale spitfire stencil decals to for 1/8, 1/6, 1/5, 1/4, and 1/3 scales.

Hope you guys enjoy it let me hear what you think. It is on my main page at http://home.mchsi.com/~jahuntley/

Scale Conversion Program
 
Thanks Joe, that looks handy. Very rarely is a model exactly and even scale (say 1:5th is really 1:5.2, etc) but using the '?' option you can put in the exact scale you want. nice. Also handy is how you can go from mm to inches. often on 3-views it's easier to measure it in mm but then on the model, inches often make more sense. thanks for sharing! :)

Scale Convertor
 
Sean,

If you wish to convert inches to mm just multiply the inches by 25.4
That will give you the countervalue in millimetres.
Conversely, if you wish to get millimetres converted into inches than divide by 25.4

Hope this helps

Regards

Reuben
