Planes,Trians & Cars

It really depends on how you define modeling and military. If military means armor and air that covers a broad range of product and it might seem to dominate. If you seperate air from armor then I would guess car models would come into the picture as far as what is most popular. If you consider "model railroading" to be modeling then there is no contest. It wins hands down. I would bet most of us don't consider the model railroad hobby as model building per say. Nothing wrong with that hobby it's just different than model building.

This is what this group consists of mainly,nothing wrong with that,modeling goes to all ''4 corners of the circle'' if you will.I find it diffucult to believe the military section sells the most from all the other modelling subjects.Well that'a my 2 cents worth of imput for today,till next time.

Trains? On rec.models.scale? Occassionally, but hardly 'mainly'.

That's because it doesn't. Cars are the biggest-selling genre.

There are a lot of those people who build structures board-by-board. Many of the same techniques are used in both domains. When I was working in railroads, cars and planes I frequently did something in one field that encouraged me to try something similar in another. The 3 branches fed off each other, IMHO.

The thing with model railroading is that it has many levels. One can just buy stuff off the shelf and dump it down on a plywood board and get one's kicks watching the trains run. One can also scratchbuild everything if one desires to. In between are many shades.

I might add that there are other usenet groups that deal with model railroading.
