I've been thinking about scratching a tram car in 1/35 scale. I've noticed a company called Military Wheels makes one in 1/72 scale. My question is, can I get this 1/72 scale tram car and take dimensions off of it and just multiply everything by 2? I thought that might make things easier since, if I do it, it will be my very first scratchbuilding project. Thank you.

the actual conversion is: 205.71% from 1/72 to 1/35

Thanks for the quick reply. So that's like multiplying by 2.0571, right?

You got it!!!!
