M Miniature Scale
MODEL MAKER GUIDE

How to convert one model scale to another

Resize plans and parts from one existing model scale to another.

Target size = Source size × Source scale ÷ Target scale

How it works

A 100 mm part at 1:72 becomes 150 mm at 1:48.

Checked example

Moving from 1:72 to 1:48 enlarges a model; the reverse reduces it.

Workshop notes

Use the actual 1:N ratio when a hobby scale name varies by region.
