      Hi,
       
      Does anyone have any experience in blowing up plans from A1 to A0 and how it would affect the scale or size of the build.
       
      I have an A1 plan of a 26″ ship which is 1/32 scale, if the plan was blown up to A0 size I believe this would make the ship about 36″ in length, and the rest of the ship scaled up.
       
      Has anyone ever done this before, or am I barking up the wrong tree here.
       
      Thank you
      Derek

          Hello Derek
           
          For starters, here are all the paper sizes….. http://painting.about.com/od/artglossarya/g/defApapersizes.htm
           
          A0 is 1189mm long
           
          A1 is 841mm long
           
          A0 is 1,4138 times longer than A1
           
          So your 26″ dimension is increased by 1.4138 = 36.76″
           
          Hope this helps?
           
          Bob

            Hello Bob
             
            Thank you, this is very helpful.
             
            I took the plans to my local photo/print shop and they are going to enlarge them from A1 to A0 for me with a cost of £10 for the both sides of the plan. The guy in the shop said it would be a 40% increase in the size of the plan.
             
            Thanks again
            Derek
