If you\u2019ve gotten fancy you might have used a spreadsheet or other tool to do the calculations. At least the spreadsheet simplifies double checking your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For many designs, this is not a significant amount of effort. When I modelled my Saturn IB, it was a tremendous amount of effort. There are tools in FreeCAD that could have simplified the process, but many of those didn\u2019t exist then. It also didn\u2019t help that I had to use features under active development as the Part Design workbench wasn\u2019t a released feature yet. Even now though there\u2019s a significant amount of tedium required to do a scale model that shouldn\u2019t be the case. Aren\u2019t computers meant for calculating stuff?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"594\" height=\"594\" src=\"https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image.png\" alt=\"Image of the Boost Protective Cover (BCP) of an Apollo Block II Command Module.

This includes both up scaling existing designs, and down scaling for scale models. The basic workflow is simple: design your model, or import your design from your simulation tool, and apply a scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s see how that works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>The Scaling Tab<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you edit a component, it now has a scaling tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"544\" src=\"https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-1-300x159.png 300w, https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-1-768x408.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The example shown here is a model of the Estes Alpha III as imported from Rocksim. I\u2019ve selected the body tube for editing. The tab will look different depending on the component being edited but they are all very similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The upper section sets the scale. If the Scaling checkbox is not selected the part will not be scaled. When scaling is selected you have options for how the part will be scaled. Scaling is conventional specified by supplying two numbers: typically it is 1:x where 1 indicates the original and the value x is used to determine the final size. For example, if you\u2019re into HO model trains, your model train is 1:87 scale. That means if your train is 1 cm tall, your original was 87 cm tall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entering a value of 2 in the value field will produce a part that is 1:2 scale, or half the size of the original. This makes sense if you\u2019re building a traditional scale model. If you\u2019re up scaling an old favourite like the Alpha III and want to double it\u2019s size your value needs to be 0.5, or 1:0.5 scale. That\u2019s not very intuitive and makes you do the math instead of the computer. Instead, select the upscale checkbox and enter your value of 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-2.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-2-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-2-768x449.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"589\" src=\"https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3-300x173.png 300w, https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-3-768x442.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you\u2019re still doing the math at this point. There may not be a body diameter of the appropriate size available. When you\u2019re up scaling, you would commonly start with a specific body tube in mind. For example, let\u2019s assume we have an LOC Precision 4\u2033 body tube and we want to upscale to that. We would instead select \u201cBy body diameter\u201d and specify our body diameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-4.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-4-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-4-768x449.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Even that is more thinking than you should have to do. You can instead use the \u201cLookup\u2026\u201d feature to select your body tube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-5.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-5-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-5-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the bottom of the scaling tab you see a read only section called \u201cScaled Values\u201d. It shows the final scale, and the scaled value of the major external dimensions. This is important because it will not scale any internal dimensions such as thickness or inner diameter. Some of that will be set when you use the lookup feature to select a specific manufactured part but that will be important to remember later. Some inner dimensions can be set to \u201cauto\u201d and will automatically adjust as required. It\u2019s important to check these to see if they are correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far all we\u2019ve done is scale one component. There\u2019s a lot more to our rocket than a single body tube. We have options here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Inherited Scale Values<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at the rocket tree on the left we see there is a hierarchy of components. Rockets have stages that have body tubes that have fins, etc. Scale values are inherited. If we set the scale of the rocket, that will apply to all components it contains. Similarly, we can set the scale for a stage, or group of components. If you want a component to be scaled differently from something higher in the rocket tree, you will need to select the override check box. Any overridden values will apply to any component in it\u2019s sub-tree unless it explicitly overrides it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We use this to our advantage when scaling the whole rocket instead of a single component. In the example above, we\u2019ve selected the LOC BT-3.9 body tube for our upscaled Alpha III. We can then apply that to the whole rocket by selecting \u201cSet Rocket\u201d. It then scales all remaining external components to the same scale as our body tube. In this case, it adjust the dimensions of the parts and resets the scale values to 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-6.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-6.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-6-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-6-768x432.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Again some caution is warranted here. Only the external components are scaled, and not all of them. Launch lugs, rail guides, and similar are not adjusted. A scaled version of a 1\/8\u2033 launch lug that was appropriate for the original Alpha III is not appropriate for a 4\u2033 high powered version. You\u2019ll want to use a rail button or similar. Internal components such as motor mounts and centering rings are not adjusted, although there are some auto settings that may adjust some values. An 18mm C motor is probably not going to be able to launch the larger rocket. Materials aren\u2019t changed. Your cardboard centering ring may now need to be made of plywood. There is still work to do, but a lot of it is now simplified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can then export or final scale model to OpenRocket for flight simulations before building and flying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Traditional Scale Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is another thing of beauty. We can design our rockets in the original dimensions of the rocket. We can then get our basic scale design by applying a scale to the rocket component and we have all of our dimensions correct. When we combine this with proxy components for more detailed features (coming in a future post), we have something very powerful indeed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"943\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-7.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-7.png 943w, https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-7-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-7-768x513.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 943px) 100vw, 943px\" \/><\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t    <\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\t\t\t\t    \n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<!--\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t -->\n\t<\/article><!-- #post-315 -->\n\n<!-- NOTE: This is a modified template specifically for the WARD theme -->\n\n\t<article id=\"post-283\" class=\"no-featured-image post-283 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-announcements category-video tag-3d-printing tag-banshee tag-low-power-rocket tag-model-rocket tag-video tag-youtube\">\n\t\t\t\t<!-- <div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\"> -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-sm-12\">\n\n\t\t\t\t    \n\t<h2 class=\"entry-title taggedlink\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/?p=283\" rel=\"bookmark\">The Banshee &#8211; Musical Version<\/a><\/h2>\n\t<div class=\"entry-meta\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.davesrocketshop.com\/?p=283\" class=\"time\"><time class=\"published updated\" datetime=\"2019-06-29\">June 29, 2019<\/time><\/a>\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t    <div class=\"entry-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t    <p>The Banshee is a fun rocket with whistles for fin pods!
