Surfer 13 scale12/17/2022 ![]() Now the surfer give warning that 'layer exceed current map limits. select the excel sheet we created it step 2 containing uphole details. To place the upholes in the map, click 'map' in the object manager and then go to Map -> Add -> Post layer. ![]() Then remove the tick mark in post so plus symbols of the boundary will not appear.ġ3. ![]() Now go to Draw -> Polygon and join all the boundary markers to make a polygon of the boundary. This is the grid file we are going to use to draw the contour.Ĭontouring 10. In the next dialogue box 'Save grid as' give a name to the blanked grid file and save it. In the next dialogue box select the bln file saved in step 8. In the dialogue box 'Open grid' select the grid file we want to blank i.e., the grid file generated in step 5. Since we want to blank contour details outside the boundary area we make it to 0.ĩ. 0 indicates whatever outside the boundary will be blanked. 1 indicates whatever inside the boundary will be blanked. The first number indicates the number of boundary markers clicked in step 7. In the first row there will be two numbers separated by comma. Now the open the bln file saved in step 7 with some text editor like notepad. Now? Close enough is close enough if it looks like the fig would be fun to paint.8. Tens of thousands of figures ago, I was obsessed with it, but the figures manufacturers have beaten me into submission. So, from the history thing standpoint, the 20mm derived from plastic model practice of 1/76. In actual fact, John used to also cast up aircrew with better detail than the crew in the kits.Īnd wargamers doing tank games using 1/76 airfix tank kits started referring to them as 20mm. At the time when there were true 25s, not just McEwens, it was treated when doing vehicles as 1/72. As I was getting into SF fig games because of John and Scotty pushing StarGard on me, it seemed sensible as I was a regular/successful modeler in IPMS competitions.īut decades ago, I realized that my scale modeler instincts have nothing to do with game scales. Leland is right that McE wanted to get everyone to standardize in the early 70s. ![]() 1/76 scale models are too dinky for me (remember, I'm Old School), but when nothing else is available, I make do until something better comes along .Īgain, a point of history about the scales. IMHO 1/72 scale figures will mix relatively well with most "20mm scale" figures. So we have the chaos that we have today, with the Barrett Scale trying to make sense of a tangled mess that would make the saints themselves lose patience. He still sculpts his fugures to 1/72 scale, measuring from the bottom of the feet to the top of the head IGNORING FOOTWEAR AND HEADGEAR, just like any good forensic scientist, paleontologist, or other related professionals would do (and nevermind the IPMS crowd of scale purits!).Īeons ago John tried to get the figure manufacturers to standardize their scales the way model railroaders had done. Only manufacturer I know that's been a stickler about the math of wargaming miniatures is John McEwan of REVIRESCO. Allow an oldtimer to chip in his two Yuan's worth (Chinese currency – you do the math):ġ/72 scale IS true 25mm scale.
