Hi to all you modellers out there.
I've got a 1/76 truck model and would like to build a 1/35 copy of it.Is it possible I can measure the 1/76 model and re-calculate the measurements to 1/35? If so how would I go about this.Hope somebody can help.Thanks Paul.

The scaling factor is 2.1714 (rounded up), which is the number you multiply all of your 1/76 dimensions by to get 1/35th measurements. Found by dividing 76 by 35.
So something 25mm long in 1/76th would be 54.28mm in 1/35th.
What truck is it? Someone may know of a 1/35th model or set of plans to save your sanity.
