Ok so i went to the gym at 7am this morning and when i got back..i had a clear head and figured out how to size the WOF templates bigger. I will try to explain lol
the templates can be found here:

Basically, i brought the main pages i needed into photoshop and made each page 8.5X11. (they are bigger when opened in photoshop because they are PDF files)
I then had to do some shuffling around of the images on the pages to get them closer to the center as some go quite close to the edges. . But nothing to distort proportion.
I then hit print, and the print preview (at 110%) shows me what will actually print. If needed, I re-arrange the images on the page so nothing, or very little gets cut off. I then print at 110%
For the "wraps" for the fuel tanks, they go to the edge of the pages, so i had to do some creative thinking. WOF has them on 2 pages for each side. What i did was i brought them into photoshop, and attached the 2 pages togther. i then turned it sideways i added more "canvas" to the top and bottom of the image (which is the sides of the original templates) to make it 11" high. I then divided this image into 3 pieces. at these widths - 7.5", 7" and 7.5". So i printed them in 3 pieces instead of 2, but i had the room to print scaled to 110% without anything getting cut off.
So all of this gave me the measurement of 15" across the top of the backplate right before it starts to curve to the horizontal area on top.
Scaling the bottom 2 pieces to 110% gave me a measurement of 15 3/4" at the top edge. this is not counting the panels that go around the fuel tanks which should add another inch to the overall width.
So this pack should be the correct scale, or very close to it.
Now, i need to glue the templates onto my foamboard and im off......pics will follow soon!
