Working from the given drawings of the venue I first converted the scale of the original plans to work out the actual scale of the stage. From this I drew my version of the Theatre Royal to actual size, then plotted my drawings at the scale of 1:25 in order to attain the right dimensions for producing my model box. Fine I thought until it came to printing the plans...I knew far well I couldn't print this drawing on one sheet as I only had access to an a4 sized printer. So with a little guidance I decided to plot and print the plans in a mosaic-type fashion. One problem when not printing in one section, you have to be talented in joining up the lines (joining up I have found is not my strong point!) To overcome this I drew construction lines (diagonally) on my drawing (see screenshots below) to provide me with a guide.
