The logical way of converting the drawings is quite easy…….

Mutiply all dimensions on the 1/144 scale drawing by 144 and you have the full size dimension

Now divide by 96 and you have the 1/96 dimension

The quick method is to multiply all the dimension on the 1/144 drawing by 1.5

Take the plans down to your local copy shop and have them printed out at 1.5x scale.

John Lambert Plans include subjects at 1:96 and also 1:192 which you can simply double up.**LINK**
