I don't know about the rest of you, but I've had a nightmare time trying to figure out how to rescale different models to fit in with whatever theme is running through my twisted little mind. Lately it's been table top gaming, scifi variety.
There are a number of suitable papercraft models available across the internet for this sort of thing, but, they all follow different scaling and for many I had no clue how to calculate the re-size ratio to enable them to be used for scenic props.
Anyway, while hunting around the net for a clue, I stumbled onto this page - if you ignore the fluff at the beginning, there is some interesting info on calculating scale, which then allows a further and more simple calculation to adjust to the scale you want.
Zen Miniature Worlds was the site, and the page is THIS one.
Hopefully this will be useful to other people looking to re-scale models to fit in with their own **whatever it is they're up to** and perhaps even allow design of models to a particular scale. Who knows? The page was useful to me anyway, and I thought perhaps others may find it helpful.
Cheers...
