6-handicap Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I have the plans for a belly dump gravel trailer. Unfortunately they are 1/24th. The suspension I have is 1/25th. Anyone tinker with this kind of thing? I would like to change all the measurements to 1/25th. Thanks Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superpeterbilt Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Hi Bryan. Just multiply all of your dimensions by 24 to get the 1:1 dimensions, then divide them by 25 to get the 1/25 dimensions. I would like to see one of these built. Ive never built one myself, but if I had a blueprint I would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6-handicap Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Terry; thanks for the reply. I found an online scale convertor and did both calculations. They came out exactly the same. The convertor is on "scalemodellersworld.com" . I found the article here on Model Car Magazine forum. Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdlbldrmatt135 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 1/24 is .0416667 so 100" = 4.16667"1/25 is .04 so 100" = 4.000" not really noticeable till you get to longer lengths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
