dodgem37 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) I don't know of a tutorial, but I did it this way to enlarge scanned drawings to help me build the 21cm rocket launchers: Scan the drawing. Measure an aspect of the model. I measured a fuselage panel. Open in Photoshop. Turn on ruler. Draw an object with a dimension (length, width, or height - in my case I drew a rectangle - I only needed the length) of the size you need (measured from an aspect of the model). Enlarge that aspect of the drawing to match the size of the drawn object. Save. Print. I hope this is helpful Sincerely, Mark Edited July 4, 2011 by dodgem37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RacerDave Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 If you dont have those fancy programs, paste the image into Excel and then you can drag the corner of the image to whatever size you desire. You may need to print off a couple copies before you hit the exact measurement you are looking for. The option for "quick printing" helps alot and since its a line drawing you dont require that color density anyways. I've used this quite a few times with very good results.
