This may have been covered already so forgive me for asking again. When I click into the viewport window in paperspace and try and scale the viewport window it scales the paperspace and modelspace? Anyone know the solution?

Enable the Viewports toolbar. Click on the viewport and select a scale from the toolbar. Alternately set the scale in the properties tab.
 
You may need to "unlock" viewport first.
 
clicking on the viewport frame in paperspace and editing the scale in the properties box is probably the simplest way.

Another way to do it is to double click in the viewport into 'floating modelspace'. Execute the zoom command, and type in the scale you want 'XP' ie 30 scale is "1/30xp" which sets the model space to 1/30th paperspace scale.
 
Viewport scale can also be accessed through the Properties window and here you can also input a Custom scale in addition to the standards.
