Calibration Models on Wiki page

I have been working my way through the calibration exercises on the Wiki page [reprap.org] - and have been seeing some significant improvements in my print quality as a result - thanks to everyone who has contributed to this information!

I worked my way down to the "BridgeTestPiece.stl", but this piece imports REALLY small (a cube 2.8 mm to a side, with 0.4 mm penetrations through it). I scaled this part up by a factor of 10 (to a 28 mm cube with 4 mm square penetrations), but I am wondering how big SHOULD this piece be printed to be reasonable test of "bridging"? E.g. should it be a 2.8 inch cube (approx 70 mm)? This was the only test piece that I encountered which did not seem to have the "right" scaling for a calibration test - everything else produced small parts around 20 mm or so.

Maybe a note about scaling this part should go on the Wiki?
