I have a 1/60th scale paper dropship. If I want to print it in 15mm what percentage should I reduce to?

The way I figure it....
12mm is roughly 1:144 or N scale
15mm is quoted as anything between 1:100 and 1:122
20mm is 1:91.4 or HO scale
So if by 1/60th you mean 1:60 then it's about 50% too big.
I think!
EDIT: Is it for use with 28mm figures? If it is then it's around the right size for a ratio of 1:60

I'd personally give it a go at about 55% and see how it turns out.

Do you have any pictures as being a paper model you may want to go full size and modify the cockpit  |

Mmm those are big windows and it doesn't look like it has raised surface details so you may want to reduce it. Best thing to do is print just the part with the cockpit area in draft so no colour and do it at full size then reduce by half to 50% and use that as a guide and see what your happy with in between those sizes. Looks a very usable model and if you able to go full size well that would be very good transport but even at 50% it's 6" square Be nice to see how this turns out |
