What is Scale?
Scale is much more than panel lines and rivets and spending the time to build a model that looks like a shrunken full size. Its getting all your documentaion together prior to starting, its getting together with people that share a similar interest. Its trash talking with some one who reolizes that its all for fun! It's taking the time to teach those who want to know how, how!
But we scale modelers are very poorly organized! last time I counted there were four organizations that pertain to scale modelling, two of which produce their own rules. Non of which provide a conprehencive fly in to masters flyer coverage of scale and we all are paying the price. Instead of putting the time into discusing what is scale I'ld rather spend the time discussing how to put togeather a comprehensive program for scale that will modivate people from their first scale project to their last.
In the absence of that beutty is in the eye of the beholder!
