Now, knowing that they are made from plastic... There are ready made kits.... AND... The ones that are "fabricated" (we who use plastic or any other materials call it Scratchbuilding or scratchbuilt), they are also made of plastic. OfCourse, there are modelers (like me) who do use any and every...

Hi all, Sorry haven' been around lately (personal life...) Thanks for the TUT RF! Can't say, I understood it perfectly, but will give it a try ASAP and let ya know my results. Laterz...

Oh. I forgot to mention (not highjackin the Thread ok. lol) I built/modified and painted her.

As another chopper biker, I have one word and whole lot of smileys. hehehehe. WOW!!!!! :eek::surprise: :BRAVO: :fireguy: Now ya got me thinking in 1:32. hehehehehe BTW: Just a small suggestion, Next Chopper you make, raise the handlebars just a tad. The way they are, if it were a real bike...

True dat! lol But I look at it this way... A sheet of regular paper is thin, laminating it with inner and outer parts will make it almost as strong as a plastic model. And since the scale is small 1:2500, there will be no warping nor sagging. ;) Besides, I really don't like flat textured...

I'm still looking forward to that TUT, RF. :cool:

Ok. Thanks Ennder. I'm not going to bother with the NX Refit any longer thou. While doing all the testing on the scaling... When I did the Photoshop Eyeballing tech for my above post, I don't know what happened but, MY printer ended up printing 6 pages. Now I have a fleet of NX Refits...

Hm... I didn't think to reinstall it. Thanks. Will try that. GREAT! That would CERTAINLY be of great help! And Thanks again.

Thanks Rhaven, Adobe Reader is what I use for my PDFs. I just don't know what the problem is that I can't print directly from A.R. on my printer.

Thanks. But still wish there was an easier/faster way to rescale... I'm going to keep tryin your way RF, TILL I GET IT RIGHT! :lolsign: (I added the step that was missing to my explanation) OH! BTW: FOR SOME REASON, I CANNOT PRINT PDF FILES.

Ok, I'm going to show what and how I do it by fotos.... Ok RF, here's what I do first... What I see in "Print Size" (depending on the image, sometimes I have to make small adjustments, like in the top one of your 2 fotos) the bottom one is the 300dpi (that one to a bit longer to adjust. view...

I'll do this test tomorrow, ok. With everything going on here plus a 16 year old drivin me crazy, and this scaling issue, my head hurts. So I'll leave it alone till morrow. Have a great night guys.

Ok... As of right now.... I am so lost, I don't know my a$$ from my elbow. hahahaha My head hurts. I give up for toda. I'll try this tomorrow. yeah, something like that. If I create an A4 page, with the same real time measurements, and open in print size, I can see exactly what it will look...

So... From now on.... I save, open in picture 1:1 to see the actual size, and if it is NOT a monstrous model and fits npretty much on the sheet as it is supposed to, I'll do RFs math and print. If it's a monster, I'll just shoot it to Photoshop and EYEBALL the scale reduction.

OH GADZ! :surprise:That just thru me for a loop.:eek: I think I'll STAY AWAY from Paragon's models if that's going to be an issue every time.:(:(

Thanks Ennder, Just one thing I don't get. You solved my 1900 to 2500 dought, GREAT! But will that work with other scales, like 400, 700, 1400, and so on and so forth? Or, is there a calculation that I can use on any PM? And also... I don't understand what the percentage change came from...

Thanks for the advice Mijob, but I would really want to do it with programs I already have and pretty much know how to use. I'm really trying to avoid installing new software. My comp isn't the best in the world. LOL

This was done by eye in photoshop. I have to redo it cause it is not perfectly scaled, it's a bit squished top to bottom. (BTW the cardboard sheet underneath is A4) And it is tedious at best to rescale each model, page by page like this. Trial and errors end up being very costly here in Brasil.

So.... How to I reduce the size (maintaining 100% on page so I can scale down correctly?), to fit the page without losing resolution when I print at the scale I want?
