Yeah, you might have the young eyes now, but not for long with braille scale!! Burns them right out, you know!
LOL
I hope you enjoy the little stuff!

Yeah i do too, the onyl thing is I still have 1 and a half models to do before I can start working on these 72md’s. I have tamyia’s M4A3 Sherman that I am modeling after the one my grandfather drove during the war and their Me 262 with kettersomething. But maybe I will take a skip[ between the sherman and the 262. Who knows
Awasoda:
i build mostly small scale stuff myself… i like the smaller size & more affordable aspects. as for details, there’s a company called PART that makes p/e for 1/72, and i know eduard also has some p/e sets for small scale ( i have a set for the revell m1a1 HA kit and i’ll b using it 4 the abrams group build ).
i do like scratchbuilding details 2 add 2 my models, and that helps keep the price down since styrene sheet , strip, rod and tube cost only a fraction of what a typical p/e set goes 4 ! example: 1/72 revell abrams kit approx. $12 (US) retail,
p/e set for same kit $23… almost double, ouch !
some of the newer small scale kits come w/ small frets of p/e & r actually pretty good deals…
has anyone mentioned Doug Chaltry’s On The Way website yet ? it’s a really great resource for small scale modeling: kit reviews and listings, construction articles, all kinds of useful stuff.
one last word… optivisor !
good luck & happy modeling,

In my IPMS club, I’m known as the King of small scale Armor! [:o)] I usually have three to five projects on the bench at a time, and every month at our monthly meetiings, I’m bringing in about five to seven 1/72 scale armor models.
I model them because of :
Space
Low cost
consistency
The consistency is because I also build 1/72 scale aircraft, and I like to keep all my kits a consistent scale. The detail is getting much better in this scale and the kits are great fun to build. I thinbk you would love building this scale.
Frosty, I’m surprised nobody’s mentioned Doug Chaltry’s site either. Pictures of three of my models are posted on “On The Way” in the Gallery section. [swg][tup]

Awasoda, trust me, youth doesn’t matter. I’m 15. It still burns the eyes.
HA ha me too, well I guess i will have to sit in the front of the class for now on.
Here you go Frosty, sorry it is so late. I’ve been so busy lately.
If that doesn’t work, try it this way:
