Hi.
How does everyone enlarge their ships? I'm a n00b, so I'm building the Taiidan Probe right now, but the other huge ships seem quite hard to make when printed on A4 or 8.5X11" paper. Is there a program that lets me print on differrent pieces of paper, but still to scale?
Thank You

or just do it the traditional way.... edit a copy of the bmp to print in 150% or 200% size, for instance. I say a copy because you will have to edit the file in order to make pieces fit in the sheets now that these are bigger.
As I own Autocad, I would choose to print into an A3 instead of A4. Autocad allows you to choose the scale you're printing in. It's really useful for architects and architects-to-be.
However, it's a really big program, with a lot of uses (2d drawing-3d modelling, for instance) so you may feel lost until you control the basics.

I'm pretty sure he want's to know how to resize models who have parts that take up most of the page, such as the motherships. It's a question I also have, but I'm afraid that you probably need pepparuko designer for that.

I have used MSPaint several times to divide a piece in 2 parts and glue these pieces together when printed, in order to make them fit into an A4 paper sheet.
Paint is your friend ;D

I agree with Cherel. I have Photoshop CS, but I use MS Paint for all my paper starship needs.
Gunfodder, most of the newer ships automatically come in a rather large size. If you're trying one of the older ones (especially mine), you'll have a hard time simply due to how small some of them are. I'm going to go back and resize them when I get the chance. I'm not quite sure how to enlarge the little ones without killing the resolution and making them all pixelated.
