Actually that is what I did. I have a pattern of a large nikie, and using that as a starting point, the baseline, 100%, I adjusted everything else on the smaller version against that 7" version. Like Larry said it works best with an original to start with, which I am going to borrow hopefully, but the result were quite good I think. Especially measuring in MM"s one can get pretty GD close to what you want. Thanks for the answers. My interest in nikies peaked quite awhile ago, and after seeing Vineyard Blues display again at plugfest and drooling
for six hours next to the Cow Killa's those are the ones I wouyld really like to repicate.
