| Howdy Guys,
Speaking of "rescaling", Texman over at www.cardmodels.net enjoys just the opposite of "enlarging" cardmodels.......he likes to "shrink" them. and when I say shrink, I mean really shrink.(see photo)

Yes, this model will be about 1 inch in length when completed with a wingspan of about 2 inches.
And below is the nearly completed fuselage:
Anyway, check out his build thread at this link: http://www.cardmodels.net/forum/showthread.php?t=4461
Have a good day,
Greg |

| | All Round Modeller | Just a quick note on this, thankfully the UK is no longer being forced into the European metric system by the EU. The simple reason being is the U.S still works on the old imperial system and refuses to change. As the U.S. is the biggest dominant force in the world who are we to change them...that's why the E.U. gave up with the U.K. where we have used the same imperial measurements for years. I grew up with feet and inches, pounds etc and can still give accurate measurements using them today...as for metric...forget it, I never did convert and now glady I don't have to.
For once we have something to thank the U.S. for
Regards........Mark
