Hi all,

So I was printing out this template to make a scratchbuilt Leman Russ: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fqOtZ8GfIQdqQcu1GutaUMlYk-brWKFR/view and noticed that the template is waaay too small. The hull is less than two inches wide, and less than one inch tall. Upon closer inspection of the template, the tank seems to be out of scale. Is it? Or did I print the thing at the wrong scale? Do you know of any better templates for this tank?

Anything I say, unless expressly noted, is my own opinion. Take it as you will

It says that it's 1/100 scale on the front page. So it would be about half the size of a 40K model.

Do you have any idea how to scale it up?

Oh Canada!

Easy way or hard way?

Easy way would be to print at 200% size via the printer dialog or document preferences. It'd mean taping sheets together as some parts are going to be cut in half though.

Hard way is opening the PDF in a vector capable program like Inkscape and manually resizing the parts, then rearranging them onto the sheets.

More trouble than it's worth. From a quick google, the guy who designed this one (Eli Patoroch) appears to also have a bunch of 40k scale templates out there.
