I know absolutely nothing about 3D printing and wondered whether any one can offer some advice / direction on whether its possible to scan an existing 3D figure (1:35) and duplicate it at 1:12?
If its possible has anyone any contacts for anyone who could do this?
Thanks P.

it is possible, though you would be losing the fine detail by scaling up, the scanning is the tricky bit, my printer has an inbuilt scanner - this is next to useless, you can get reasonable scanners.
I have printed reasonable figures in 1/12 scale using a free program called makehuman to generate the figures, you can customise the features to get a decent figure.
alternatively there are companies out there where you could go and be scanned yourself in any given pose, that can produce a mini you in any size you want (at a price)

Good 3d scanning technology is likely to be built into smartphones within the next 12-18 months.

You can use a normal camera to take photos and software can then give you a pretty good 3D model out of it

I'll bet a few will be "scaled up"    Making rash promises that cannot be lived up to leading to "disappointing encounters"
