How can I make the one piece from the 1/48 scale version that isn't in the 1/35 version in 1/35 scale. and how do I make the building featured in this Tamiya 1/48 scale accessory kit:

Well Luke,

If you want to "shrink" the scale of a brickwall, first you have to make a mold for it with silicone (RTV - Room Temperature Vulcanization). Then you add xylene or talulene chemical solution into your mixture. Calculate the scale and ratio so that you can get an accurate reduction of the size. Then you pour resin into the mold. Volia! pretty easy.

Or you can just buy the 48th scale version of the brick wall.

I'm trying to make it so it can either fit in the 1/35 kit or to make the piece out of one of the pieces in the 1/35 kit
