Cobbler:

The way I converted the photo on this project was to assign 24” as being the wheelbase of the cycle. Then I assigned 2MM = 1” which means on my plan 48mm = the wheelbase. Applied to the wheels measuring them on the photo 20MM = 10” dia. wheels. Taking the same approach to the fenders, height of the seat, height of the front forks, etc. everything comes out proportionately correct & the components of the cycle on your plans are in inches. One does have to be careful when working with photo conversion because there is often distortion present in the photo so you have to be alert & rely on your sense of proportion. With a toy if your close….that’s good enough because the child is not likely to be overly critical as long as the darn thing works.
