michael mott Posted February 24, 2013 Share #10 Posted February 24, 2013 Hello Gigantesco, the model is looking good , My question relates to the scale of the model, Longridges' Model is to 1:48 which is 1/4 inch to the foot 1:64 would be 3/16ths to the foot. Is your model 1:66 a metric equivalent?

gigantesco giovanni Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share #11 Posted February 25, 2013 I got my plans, enlarging the scanner with the original drawings of the book by mckay. The original drawings are 1:192 scale that enlarged to 3 give the scale 1:64. The model is long mt. 1.08. gigantesco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigantesco giovanni Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share #28 Posted June 25, 2013 Thank you for the compliments I do not deserve because they are not a good modeller. I just want to be able to make this my strange idea of a victory which lacks a portion of the sides. gigantesco giovanni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiel Posted June 28, 2013 Share #29 Posted June 28, 2013 not strange at all! open models are nice so much more to see. Maybe you should consider making pictures with a tripod, I'm assuming you're currently shooting by hand, in addition use the timer, and it will be easier to make sharp pictures, you work surely deserves it.
