Thanks for all of the encouragement! Revell-fan, I hate to ask, but how soon before we might see the canon cockpit? I am having a thought to build up my modified cockpit in a re-paint and finishing the stock TF in a way that would, I hope, make Erin Grey proud.
Entlza, when I resize projects I take the designed scale, divide that number by the desired scale, and that is the percentage change. So for example: This build is designed as a 1:32 scale. I want to build 1:18, so 32/18= 1.77777. This becomes 178% increase. In paint I stretch it in both directions. I printed this on 110# letter sized, as that is all my home printer can handle. Although, I will be venturing to Kinko's as soon as a repaint is finished, so I don't have to tile the large parts again.
I will post more build photos later tonight.
