Many times when you see a miniature, it will be posed next to a quarter (US $.25) to show scale.
i was thinking, it would be cool to do a group build where all finished models were small enough to fit on top of a quarter.
Any subject, any media, and as tall as you want, just has to fit in the diameter of a quarter and be scratchbuilt.
this should be a pretty quick build considering the LOD wont be extreme.
You’re wacked, you know that?
Stop giving me ideas!
there is no doubt that I am wacked, but I am dead serious.
I haven’t ever built something that small before. it would be a challenge.
Are you sure you want to use a quarter…thats a whole lota room. Maybe a penny or dime[;)] Sounds fun though.
Matt
sure, make it a dime. Just trying to think up a challenge for everyone.
I was just thinking of doing a 1/1000 TOS shuttle. I think that would fit on a dime. [;)]
I have something in mind. Count me in. If I can paint 1/285th scale Micro Armor, then I think this would be easy. Does anybody remember the issue of FSM with the microscopic SW models? I think the Falcon was about the size of a quarter.
StevenQ, you and Woody are the oly ones who seem to be interested. I am actually shocked that more ppl aren’t up to the challenge. I put this idea into te other forums and noone is interested.
For Gods sake, it would’nt cost anyone anything and the build time would just be a few days. Lets see you guys bust out some skill and talent. We could throw the “quarter” scale challenge straight at FSM for an article.
The only guidlines I am suggestin is that it is scratched and a recognizable subject
I am already involved in 2 GB, also need to start 2 entries for Competitions in August.
In addition to that I am also editor of a modeling related Fanzine and need to get a few articles written up for the upcoming issue.
Way too busy to take on another project. [;)]
Plus, getting hold of a quarter where I am is a pain in the butt, remember not all the forum members are american or in the states.
Just 25 cents for the display base[;)] Count me in!

This sounds crazy enough for me to like it!
It can go with my lil WWI fighter…
Cool, sounds like there are a few ppl interested. I’ll put together a list and then we can put the details together such a start date and time.
Dan your sick buddy…but then so am I[(-D]
Matt
Ok, I think we have enough ppl ready to give it a go.
Lets go with 2 weeks of research and planning and a 1 month build. That should be more than enough time and won’t stress anyone out.
email me with your subject and I will post. Take the full 2 weeks to plan if you need to, I have no idea what I will do myself.
I’ll work a badge up in that time.
