    Hello All,
    I clearly have lost all math skills and as much as I run it through my brain it still never makes sense and I just keep second guessing myself. Math=evil in my world. Well I am trying to convert a 1/200 scale plan to 1/144 and 1/96 for trial to see if at one point it will all make a light go off in my head to no avail.
    It's the yamato or musashi body plan out of the book "the battleship yamato". If I am correct after getting specs off of hopefully correct websites I am getting 10.09" or 10 3/32" on beam length in 1/144 and 15.135" or 15 and between 1/8 and 9/64.
    Can someone chime in and let me know if my math is all messed up.
    Thanks
    It would just be easier to get plans and have someone else do this because I am trying to be so perfect that I spend more time going over and over it because I don't want it to turn out a lemon and have to go back to the drawing board.
