When you rescale 28mm figures to 15mm . Whats the percentage you shrink them before printing?

Thanks!

When you rescale 28mm figures to 15mm . Whats the percentage you shrink them before printing?

I usually take some of already printed 15mm and compare them in editor (I use Meshmixer) with newly rescaled miniatures. I also take 20mm cylinder in editor and compare miniatures with it (I use 20mm bases for 15mm infantry).

Problem is - all 3d-model designers make them in different scale! I can downscale 2 different rebels at the same percent and they will be of different size. That causes lots of problems.

Some quick-reaction forces for the Empire. idea was to make some kind of "pacification" force or literally "death brigade" that uses old-fashioned second-line equipment on some backwater worlds.





And some heavy support for the rebel forces:



Very, very nice!  I have the Wakes figures, Republic and Droids printed in 10mm.  They look great

Upscaled to 15mm they look a bit chibi - big heads and childish bodies, but I still like the result.

The paint work on everything is great, I don't mind the look of them at all, I had ordered what were to be 15mm resin printed figures on Etsy and they could be used in 20mm maybe but not in 15mm they were just too big.
Just remember "If the Enemy is in range, so are YOU!

The one on the far right just inspired me! I bought a half dozen small, Sci-Fi scatter pieces. They're cylindrical, and I was thinking of using them as terminals or random scatter. But they could easily be droids like the one on the far right! Thank you!! You just increased my droid count by six...!!  ;D

Well...I still have to paint them...  lol

That medical droid has a dozen of small arms but the could broke easily so I made them hidden in droid body,
80-s sci-fantasy has an awkward droid design so you can make them barely from every kind of scatter pieces  :D

Good job all round.
I find that rescaling from 28/32 mm to 15/18 makes models thin, fragile ( ankles are worst ) & detail simply disappears.
 Up scaling from 6/8 mm ( eg. Kmfp or Wakes ) give chonkier & sturdier minis.
Kitbashing in 3d ( I like MS 3d builder ) is the new norm for  me.
Thanks for sharing.
Keep it up
