So if the model length @ 1:72 scale is some 10' & 7/8' of a [foot] long, are the sub or minor dimensions listed in feet' & inches" ?
Lovely isn't it
........the symbol for an inch
" is the same as the symbol for an quotation mark
" The initial time required to metricate all dimensions to millimetres [mm] may well pay off in accuracy of the build as your 1:72 model now 2755.19mm long....and every reference point on the plan is in
units of mm ......"so an original 1 3/4" [1.75"] dimension is now a simple 44.45 mm long" ...
It would be a
'nice to have'...or a full length plan & elevation view mounted to a fixed board......on a wall above the work bench ...it could also be considered to section the 1:72 scale plans into four sheet pages with
overlapping axis.......these could be length limited to 750 mm which are a handy sized paper size and also handy to use as the detail reference sheets during the build
I would strongly recommend you consider scanning the master to CAD, and metricate the output.....then get someone else
to back check every metricated dimension...then use the printout as four [4] handy sheets to use as the actual reference media.....
If you needed to take a drawing section & a few photographs to a colleague for discussion.....you open out a 3' sheet for ease of viewing instead of the need of moving his home furniture to open the scroll of a 12' sheet
