Re: Space 1999 52" Eagle Transporter Scratch Build (PIC HEAVY!)
Back in the 70's when I was first building stuff, I always used the metric system for my models. It could convert so easily into any scale, and the math could be done in an instant in your head. Coming from a carpentry-related family, it was always 7/16th's this, and 19/32nd's that..it drove me crazy.
Also, here in the states at that time, the schools seemed to push the idea that we were going to be converting to metric in the future. Yeah...that happened.
I'll do some re-computing here and see what I come up with.
