Scale Rulers

[Hoss6262]

Hello All,

Does anyone know where I can find scale rulers? The can be printable, acrylic or any material, as long as they are not too thick.

I'm specifically looking for 1:48 scale as I am currently building a gantry style build board. I would be using the rulers on the vertical posts as well as the horizontal as illustrated below.

Thanks,
Ken

Hi Ken,

I would look in a drafting supply shop, that's if there are any left these days, or online for a second hand scale ruler.
PT-2 on this site might know where you would find one.

Cheers,
Stephen.

That's brilliant. I printed out the 1:48 scale and laid it across my model. Everything suddenly jumped into focus without having to measure and calculate.

The captain's cabin, which looked small to my eye, is actually quite workable (of course!!) . Thanks Stephan.

Hey All,

I was able to get hold of Mike, who built the gantry build board that inspired me to do the same. He shared his original 1:48 scale rulers with me. See below.
