Okay, after goofing around with this tonight, to make it at the sane length as a Mk VIII at 1/55, I had to enlarge it by ~160%. Doung some back math, AirDave's is at 1/87, HO train scale. I've got a VSF game coming up next month and this is going to be my allowed single WW1 tank. Comes in at three pages scaled to 1/55, so well within my pocket change budget. |

Ah, sorry, that was unclear of me. AirDave's Indiana Jones tank is 1:87 HO scale, enlarged 160% to make it the same length as a Mark VIII at 1:55.

I know it's a day late and a dollar short, but if you need to recolor a model, I finally got my recoloring in GIMP tutorial written and posted at my blog. If that helps. Making a vehicle pink would be easy peasy. |

Making a vehicle pink would be easy peasy. Nowhere near late! I haven't even started on it yet. Thank you for the tutorial, I am sure it will come in handy  |

A couple thoughts on rescaling the Indiana Jones tank:
1) 60% bigger means all the fold lines are 60% thicker, and not nearly as easy to cover with paint (I use paint matching the model color to edge with, rather than the traditional black marker.)
2) as the size increases, so too does the need for more structural attachment. If I ever do another one, I will be adding a lot more tabs!
Unrelated to the model pattern itself, it seems my local copy shop has changed either the brand of paper or brand if color toner, as this kit reacted very differently with my paint than it has in the past. The material seems more porous, and soaks in my paint where previously it would only stick to the exposed white cardstock and could be easily wiped off the print.

I didn't see "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" but that is a cool looking tank (above.)
@coyotepunc; sometimes when I scale things up, I copy some of the texture beside the lines and paste it over part of the line so the lines don't get too thick. It depends a bit on the texture involved. More art than science. Kudos for using matching colours to edge with.
Edit 2 hrs Later: So I googled and found TLoEG online. I liked it OK but I found Nemo's car more interesting than the Nautilus itself. I feel like they got Nemo wrong as a character, though it has been decades since I read the book.

I hope Dave gets his wind back on KoolWheelz models, but at this time, he thinks this may be the last ones. Let's hope he changes his mind.  If it is the end, he sure is going out on a high note |

I must say, the Chariot there is the pick of the litter for me. It will need to be recolored and resized, but very nice!

I'm building it already. Scaled it up to 112.5%, which with moving parts around, allows it to be one page still, but these really aren't that big, lost-in-space-2018.wikia.com/wiki/Chariot_ATV%E2%80%99s. I think it looks better larger, though. If you build it, download the assembly diagram, too. Quite a few laminated parts. I'm really looking forward to the Snake and Mongoose more realistic models and the Warthog, too EDIT -- The lamination means you have to let stuff dry before you can work on it, but I did make substantial progress last night  |

Vermin King, when you scale the rebbot Chariot to 112.5%, what does it become compatible with in terms of models sizes? I do a lot of 28mm gaming, would it be the right size for that or are you making it just a little larger for your Hot Wheels-scale collection?

It's compatible with a wide range because it doesn't have anything on it that has to be a certain size. If you look at the link I posted above, these are more like a runabout than a heavy hauler. That's why they have trailers. But I think they look better bigger. You should be able to use the enlarged version with anything between 25 mm and Epic scale
