[QUOTE="ledded, post: 2069437, member: 12744"] Heh. I've got a table of 1/48 biplanes ready for paint. Actually, 4 or 5 ready, and 2 in various stages of being put together. Of course, I had to go for the funkier looking ones for our game, like the wire-framed "pusher" style Havilland DH2's, Bleriot Monoplanes, Fokker Eindecker's, etc. I prefer the 1/48 scale over 1/72 because the size fits so much better with the 28-30mm minis. Heck, I find 1/72 to be just a touch small for the older 25mm minis, and I hate that scale. 1/48 is admittedly a bit big, but because of perspective it looks more "right". If only they would make these models and figs in 1/60... :) I'm going to try to finish up the details on the zepp soon and re-prime it, I'll toss on a plane for comparison's sake. Admittedly, it doesnt look as cool as I'd like, however it wil be quite usable for gaming purposes if you suspend a little disbelief (or subscribe to our model of physics :) ). Plus, I didnt want to try to build a scale-zeppelin that was big enough for model airplanes (even in 1/72 scale) to actually fit inside, because the room isn't really big enough for a 7-foot blimp :) Real Zeppelins were freakin' huge. Ours are not quite that big. [/QUOTE]
