Are you asking about re-scaling a living creature? A machine? Some details would be helpful here.

If you're asking about doing this with a living being, Bio-Tech has some rules for re-scaling biological organisms, at least ones based on roughly human physiology. That will get you attributes, though I don't think they cover DR. DR is hard to do anyway, because quite a lot of it is going to depend, not on size, but just whatever the armor is made of - a SM -7 turtle might have DR 1 or 2 still, whereas an SM +3 elephant reduced to SM -7 could quite easily have no DR to speak of.
