James w rogers Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Hi guys, I need some advice on working out the scale size of my la nina build. If I have a length of 47 mm and the real ship is 15m would I be right to say 15000 ÷47 = 319 1:319? Or just 1:300? Thanks for humouring me, maths was never my greatest subject! 😂 😂 Chasseur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSiemens Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 I think you have it right. The technical scale is 1:319. A lot of people round that down because 1:300 is easier to remember. Either works. Technically 1:300 would be 50mm. The difference between 1:319 and 1:300 is almost a meter. I think it's safe to go with either. 15000 ÷ 300=50 50-47=3 3*300=900 Chasseur, Landlubber Mike and James w rogers 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chasseur Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Hi James, Seeing how this subject can be somewhat frustrating for most bottleship modelers I will post an article next Bottled ShipWright journal in June. Stay tuned! Edited January 6, 2019 by Chasseur JesseLee, IgorSky, James w rogers and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
