Mm ok this could be tricky to explain in a few words...Do you have any sort of Photoshop or graphics editing stuff on your Lappy ?
If so then they usually have a ruler/grid you could resize the image in the software (I usually use it by %) until you know the measurements are correct for the 1/16 model. That is to say if a 1/16 Churchill was say 35cm long then upsize your drawing till it was 35cm long using the grid to measure ???? Thats how Id do it....but Im not an expert. Tell ya what send me a copy of the scan and Ill show you what I mean....Not an LVT is it ???

Im sure there are much more expert voices to be heard round here mind you !
