If models get any bigger why don't we just put engines in them and learn to fly the damn things? Mike IPMS


Because I tried that, and I found out I can build 'em one HELL of a lot better than I fly 'em...

...unless I can get in 'em.

Heathens! Flying is for birds!Come back to the true scale of 72nd :)

LOL...thats what I thought too :-))

Looking at a 1/72 747 and pondering the size of a C-5 I see no reason to go to any other scale.

Tom (currently considering when and how much re the house next door for all of the airplane and Disney stuff).

Tom- my wife is a mouse worshiper too. I got in some serious trouble at Disneyland for idly mentioning that if Tinkerbell was about 5'2" she'd be seriously hot and wondering what's under those leaves. Two counts- looking at other women, even cartoon characters (misdeneanor) and the felony of blaspheming against a Disney character!

They have done some in 1/72d. They just charge 1/24th prices for them. ;)

Like none of us has ever had those thoughts... :)

Oh come on with that excuse "I build larger cause I can't see" and then put a weeks grocery money into detail parts so small no one knows they are there but you.And then bitch you don't have enough room for them all.It's more like wanting to show off who's model is biggest because something else of yours isnt LOL And I already have 20/200 vision,but stick to 1/72 and smaller for space and cost reasons,so there... :-P

You would be wondering what's under the leaves or she would?

Hey Tom, How many of the Big Figs do you have? I started a list on the Disneyland newsgroup to find out how many of them there are. Close to 50 and I only have 2.

I would think she wouldn't need to wonder and I'd bet it was "magically delicious"!

Another one in my Jimmy Stewart collection!

That's my next build. Peguso (nee Lindberg) Stinson Stationwagon. Any chance for some photos on alt.binaries.pictures.aviation?

He's 1500 miles away but next time I'm visiting I'll snag a few with my digital camera. I had a photo of it when a freak windstorm blew 2 other planes into it and smashed the crap out of it. His was tied down, theirs wasn't. Thats why it got rebuilt.

I build larger because I can! I prefer 1/6 scale for my armor projects. Nothing beats the look on my wife's face when I tell her it time to move the 180 pound beast upstairs. ;-)

1/6 scale T34-85 at
