1287 forum posts 1592 photos | Hi Paul If it's a PDF file a printshop can do it in full size, no problem!! I have lots done at our local printshop, plus resizing and save onto a memory stick for safe keeping. Harry |

![]() 186 forum posts 19 photos | The Billings Instruction books are usually A4 size - so on options instruct a standard A4 printer to fit to size. most printers will give you that option .The smaller pictures should be clear enough for what you will need . Only the plans were A2's or A1's. |

3 forum posts | Hi Harry, Redpmg thanks for your input. I can print the instruction books no problem, my printer can do "poster prints" but trying to print the plans it will resize to fit the poster (a matrix of 3x3 or 4x4 A4 pages) rather than the correct size on a matrix that is large enough. I have found a local print shop which will be able to help at a reasonable price. |

We welcome well written contributions from Website members on almost any aspect of Model Boating with a particular emphasis on practical hints, tips, experience and builds.
In order to maintain a consistent standard and format, all suggestions should first be sent to me by Personal Message for approval in principle. Only a very limited amount of time is available for editing contributions into a suitable format for placing on the website so it is important that the material is well presented, lucid and free from obvious spelling errors. I think it goes without saying that contributions should be illustrated by appropriate photos. I shall be happy to give advice on this.
The Member Contribution area offers space for short informative mini articles which would not normally find a place in Model Boats magazine. It is an opportunity for Website Members to freely share their expertise and experience but I am afraid that virtue is its own reward as there is no budget to offer more material recompense!
I look forward to receiving your suggestions.
