Yet another one of my rescales. This one is the SF Papercraft USS Reliant.
The build was straightforward with no problems (at least none that werent my fault sign1 )

its sitting on top of my monitor. I hadnt built the base yet

 

[luciencarroll]

that hole in the monitor looks like a docking port or something but if thats the spot for a webcam or mic then that is small

 

[sidewinder81777]

5.6 inches long & 3.2 inches wide

Looks good. 142 x 82 mm, that's small! Very nice build!

The only change I'd make is to give the roll-bar a slight curve and curl the planetary sensors on top of the primary hull. Other than that it looks great! :thumb:

ok looking at some pics I see what you mean. The roll bar is done, Im gonna have to fab something for the sensors.

Very nice work sidewinder! Any chance you can submit this to Zealot so we can all have the opportunity to build it at this scale? :mrgreen:

Well all im doing is scaling the print, not the actual pattern itself. So for instance the original size is around 1:1000 for this model so for 1:1700 scale the print to 58.82% of original size. I use Brava! Reader for pdf's, It makes this very easy. It also allows you to print selected sections of a page at a time so you can enlarge to sizes that normally would overrun the edges of your paper.
