Scale caculater?

[ewaskew]

There was a site that had an on line caculater that would convert 1-1 measurements

to whatever scale you needed.

Scale motor cars.com

Well I can't get on there anymore.

Do's anyone know of a site that has one on it?

Or tell me if I'm doing something wrong to get to the site.

All a person needs is a calculator.Take the 1/1 dimension and divide it by the scale you are looking for.Example 3" exhaust in 1/25 equals .120 just a hair under 1/8 inch.

There is a caculater that is for download on different sites,that is can be put on your computer.I use it all the time. the programs name is Scalecalc ,there is another I can use but its a pay program.I like using it to its called Handy Converter like was said above,a normal caculater can do it but more steps involved then a computer program.if needed I can find the site for you.Thanks,Chris

just use the metric system

1 inch is 25.4 mm

so on 1/25 scale 1 mm for 1 inch is close enough i'd say

X2. Makes one realize how thin plug leads really should be.

EXACTLY! Or, if you are uncomfortable trying to use metric, just think .040" equals one inch in 1/25 scale.

All you need is a simple pocket calculator. Divide the 1/1 size by the scale you're working at.

Example: 1/1 measurement is 12 inches. You're working in 1/8 scale. Divide 12 by 8.

Example: 1/1 measurement is 12 inches. You're working in 1/20 scale. Divide 12 by 20.

Example: 1/1 measurement is 12 inches. You're working in 1/25 scale. Divide 12 by 25.

All you have to do is divide the full-scale measurement by the scale that you're working at. Simple!
