Yes, in the printer dialogue where you set the percent, set it to 76.39% (or 76% if the small difference will not be noticable to you). Here is a site with some scale conversions in a chart format. 1/55 is not on the chart, though. http://www.wwi-models.org/misc/scalecon.html
When you want to reduce the size of a model divide the current scale by the scale you want and move the decimal two places to the right. 1/55 to 1/72 55/72 = 0.76388 or 76.38% When you want to increase the size of a model divide the current scale by the scale you want and move the decimal two places to the right. 1/72 to 1/55 72/55 = 1.309090 or 130.91% On May 29, 1:43 am, Louis <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello gang, > I want to reduce the scale of a Fiddler Green WW1 tank model collection > which is 1:55 down to 1:72 scale to match my growing collection of highly > detailed WW2 to current era tank model collection so that I have WW1 tanks > to display also.
