How to resize or scale from plans or monographs spreadsheet example

[RickNoyes]

I have concentrated of making ships boats for the past few years and often scale my models to suit a space based on the original plans.

To do this you only need to know

• your plans actual overall length.
• The desired overall length of the model you wish to make (either larger or smaller than the original plan length)
• The length and or width of the component you wish to make based on the original plan measurement.

From the above measurements 1 and 2 you can obtain a dimension for each and every component of from the original plan.
I have attached a simple spreadsheet that I hope is self-explanatory.

Happy modelling Cheers
Rick

If you know the change is scale size then you can work with copier or print house to have copies made at new "needed" scale for your project.
