Roktman Posted July 7, 2010 Report Posted July 7, 2010 [/size]Hi gang, I saw this over at Starship Modeler. Member "karim" made an app for the iPhone that - "is a set of calculation tools designed for scale model builders, model-railroad enthusiasts, scratch-builders, or anyone else who needs to quickly and easily convert between measurements in different scales, figure out the scale of a model or model part, or perform other modeling-related calculations. Model Kit version 1.0 features: Convert measurements from one scale to another - enter measurements in inches, feet, millimeters, centimeters, and meters and even mix units during input - enter arbitrary scales, or select from a library of common numeric scales, architectural & engineering scales, and model railroad scales - flag commonly used scales as "favorites" for easy access Calculate unknown scales - Add the calculated scale to the library Convenient Unit converter Cone shell calculator - enter top diameter, bottom diameter, and cone height * More features to come in future updates " http://www.karimnassar.com/makery/model-kit Its only $4.99 and can be gotten from the App Store by searching "Model Kit" I just bought it and it's everything you'd expect. Its perfect for people like me who's PC is not near my model building room. BTW I have no involvement in this, just a happy customer...
LesWalden Posted July 10, 2010 Report Posted July 10, 2010 Only problem is...........what's an App???? For that matter what's an IPod???? For those of us who aren't into technology, go to an Art Supply and get a conversion wheel. About the same price.
