pattern question

[Evel KMego]

OK, stupid question. The patterns provided at customego seem smaller than actual size needed. I'm guessing I need to convert them to scale. How do I do this? Remember I'm a rookie at this!

Try opening them up in MSN Paint if you have it. The only one I've had to do any work with is the "Thing" bodysuit pattern. The rest all print off at the size needed, unless you are planning to use them for Lion Rock bodies.

The one I'm trying to work on is the tight basic suit. Even if I copy it to paint it seems too small. Not sure.

have you printed off yet?

[Evel KMego]

Yeah, opened it up from customego, copied it, went to paint and pasted it, then printed it. Way to small.

Did you copy straight from the patterns page, or did you click on the desired pattern and copy from the enlarged page?

[Evel KMego]

Copied from the enlarged page. When I compare the print out to a suit on one of my figures it appears to be about an inch and a half short in the legs and maybe an inch short in both sleeves.

The One on Captain Dunsel's site it Mego Scale Bro,.. all the patterns are.

Never had any problems with the patterns, but I've gotten most of mine from the Dunsel site listed above or striaght from Cory Woods.

I bring patterns into PowerPoint. It has a background grid already which I set to .25" then I use the scale bar on the image for reference and drag it as needed to the size I am after. Usually they are right on already.

I'm not good at printing them either dont feel bad most of the time I print then cut down it would be so much faster to get it right...LOL and have problems all the time as well...
