What Are Your Modeling Interests?

General Discussion General Modeling Discussion
1

I was just wondering what other people’s modeling interests are, and what they do not like to build. Please specify type and era. Here are my primary interests:

  • WWII German AFVs (late-war vehicles and paper panzers preferred)
  • WWII Soviet AFVs
  • WWII Artillery/AT Guns/SPGs (any nationality)
  • Cold War Soviet AFVs
  • Cold War American AFVs (VERY picky here, I mainly like Vietnam-era American vehicles)
  • Cold War Soviet Artillery/AT Guns/SPGs
  • Cold War American Artillery/AT Guns/SPGs
  • Mecha

Modeling subjects I do not like:

  • Modern AFVs
  • Modern Artillery/AT Guns/SPGs
  • Modern Aircraft

So which subjects do you like and which do you dislike?

2

Anything WW2 German, land sea and air.

Aircrfat based in the county of Norfolk from WW2 to the modern day.

Post WW2 US aircraft based on a type by type basis.

Star Wars and Star Trek.

I don’t have any i would say i don’t like. I just avoid those i don’t have much interest in.

3

Mainly aircraft – any era, mostly 1/72 with occasional forays into 1/48 and 1/144. Subject matter is dictated entirely by how the aircraft looks, and/or its colour scheme, rather than any historical significance – guess I’m strange that way :wink:

I’ve built a bit of armour, a few sci-fi subjects. Even built a motorbike once. I’d like to be able to paint figures, but lack the confidence to do so. Similarly, high gloss car finishes intimidate me although there are several auto subjects I’d like to build one day.

About the only subject matter I can’t see myself building is big Japanese robots, but never say never.

Hmm, I don’t think there are any I don’t like.
I guess I stick to WW2 subjects mostly. Ships, aircraft, armor it doesn’t matter any nationality.

Modern: Sometimes but not too often, mostly NATO and again, ships, aircraft or armor.

Sci Fi: Star Wars and Star Trek, until they come out with Pacific Rim Jaeger’s.

Nonmilitary: Airliners and maybe some cars, but cars are rare.

0 interest in paper.

5

I am pretty simplistic in my interests:

1/35 AFVs & softskins, WWII thru today

1/48 military aircraft WWI thru today

1/350 ships WWII, Cold War, current

Real Space, with an emphasis on the Space Race era of Sputnik thru Apollo

Sci Fi- mostly Star Wars & Star Trek (original cast & crew series & movies), but also several other movie or TV types as well. Would love to see a UFO series Moonbase Interceptor

Military Figures…

I do not dislike anything, but I rarely dabble in cars, projected projects ( Luft '46 or “paper panzers”), or civil aircraft.

6

I’ll build anything that piques my interest and give me a sense of challenge.

What I hate:

Clothing & shoe shopping with my wife and stupid people.

7

modern warwheels (trucks, AFVs, SAMs, SPA)

towed artillery

PLA

JGSDF

dinosaurs

helicopters

RR

commercial ships other than liners

engines (jet, prop, automotive)

Wow…solid question

I mostly build 1/35, 1/48, 1/72 Anything from WWII to current Military models. As far as SciFi…Star Wars. I have never been in to production automobiles(Mustangs, Camero’s and so on).

9

1/48 + 1/35 All nationalities and eras

1/48 Aircraft + Jets Any nationalities or eras

1/350 Ships 20th century any nationality

10

I’m building as comprehensive collection as I can of world war 2 fighters in 1/48 scale. I’ve got a wall with 12 glass shelves to fill, and reckon I’ll be finished about the time I retire or am ready to sell this house and downsize. Then, I’m hoping a museum or local Legion branch will be interested in them and I’ll start something else.

11

1/72 aircraft any era.

1/350 warships.

Wooden ships mostly 1/96 or larger, so schooners and such.

I don’t build cars much anymore.

Don’t do figures much.

I don’t really get into fantasy as I like historic research.

12

I usually build 700 scale WW2 ships and the odd 72 scale armor. I love small scales, mainly because my sel long room is maybe 75 square feet and half of it is my business office.

13

I like anything and everything that strikes my fancy when I see it (and have $$$ in my pocket).

I don’t like----------------------uh--------------------------???. Guess I haven’t found anything yet.[:D] Have to keep looking.

Balsa scale stick and tissue, 30’s, 40’s and 50’s classics, Stearman, Waco, Howard DGA, etc.

Plastic mostly 1/72 aircraft, anything that appeals to me.

Only military vehicles that I build are for display having consistent association with aircraft, (C-47/ Jeep or Deuce and a half.)

Long ago, Pocher kits.

Same with me! It’s very much about aesthetics for me, I can’t build something unless it looks cool.

16

patrick206 has got me thinking. I’ve always wanted to try my hand on balsa wood & tissue aircraft kits. LOL!

17

I used to say I modeled anything that moved under its own power. Then I built a few horse-drawn vehicles. Then, I found a kit for a Gutenberg printing press! I guess I have expanded my interest to the point where I will model anything.

18

I do 1/48 scale pre-war and WWII American aircraft mostly. Some 1/72 if I can’t find the subject in 1/48. Float planes are also a favorite from any country however.

19

If it flew after 1930 I just might build it. 1/48 1/72 1/144 1/200. Occasional car to break up the monotony.

20

Mostly 1/32scale ww2 fighter’s, bombers …wishlist. …hmmm…1/32scale Do.17…in any variation. …Henschel Hs 129B2…early version of the P-38 lighting none supercharged. .so so many others too much to list …all .Japanese bombers too …[proplr]
