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 !
