Topic review - 6 Submarines (Mostly Modern) 1:350

Oh no, for ships, 1:350 is my standard scale because 1:700 is too small and hard to find good builders. I've stopped buying kits for some times except a few 1:35 armors. As for aircraft I'd prefer no smaller than 1:200, have been thinking of buying 1:144 Tu-160 but then there's display space problem. As for my website I've used more than 80% of 5 GB rent space and I have no plan for upgrade as it'll cost twice the price (now I pay $7.95 monthly). After so many decades it's time to retire and relax.
Not now but probably next year...

and then...? you start collecting 1: 1250 scale ships.....? :cool_2:

or maybe 1/2400 ships...., 1/350 and 1/700 scale aircraft
there is a lot that can be done in small scales-- and you will find a corner to display !

see here viewtopic.php?f=59&t=164322

Thanks so much Jim, for your kind comments. I'm in "count down" mode now, running out of kit stock and display space. Just over 100 kits of warplanes, warships and figures remain in stock.

Oh you still keep the link to that page! It's over 2 years now and not so up-to-date. Later on the Panther 1:8 was moved to the floor, to make room for Dora Rail Gun 1:35 - the biggest gun ever built on earth - whose base is 2.20 m long. Next year when all kits have been built, I'll take pictures again. :wave_1:
