Well,

We won't keep you!  Get off here and get back to work on those projects for Salute!!!

 :D :D :D

Went down to the modeling area and started a thread down there.  Might start out with 15mm or 1/100 scale, just because of the models, terrain and buildings already on hand. 

Now its just finding the proper moving boxes and tubs.......they're out in the garage someplace!

2mm. Not as visually sound as other scales, but the miniatures are painted pretty fast  lol

Mark (Tin Shed Gamer),

Wow, very nice!  Where did you get those “triangular” bases for your tripods?

I like the "TOES" on those big feet!

Got some hexagonal feet for my first Tripod, was going to cut or mold something similar to his.  I usually drill and pin miniatures, even small ones, to keep them sturdy.  Will try to keep doing it with these new projects too.

I don't think anyone can say there's a 'best' scale for an entire genre, just the 'best' for them individually. If it works for you, great, but to say that 28mm doesn't work for VSF for whatever reason, when there are so many examples where it clearly does, seems overly dismissive. It all comes down to personal preference, storage, etc and there are no right or wrongs, just choices and preferences.

Aptly put Elk101. :)

We are also fortunate that there are so many options available these days that people  can game in their scale of choice.

After a retirement move 1000 miles,

I had thought about downsizing the toy/figure/game collection.  I managed to "diet" and some of the more dusty items went off to other folks.  Same with the books.....darn it!!!

No such thing as TOO MANY TOYS!!!

Right?????

Until you get flooded out and no-one wants to move/store your stuff as you remain homeless for an unknown period as there aren't enough homes left to acquire.

That does stink!

Know a guy here lately too, whose shed caught fire.  Forty plus years of collecting up in smoke..........

I wonder what the silver lining of disasters is?  Life IS change?!?!?!

To my the epitome of steampunk is brightly clad soldiers marching in formation entirely nonsensically when there are also huge pondering landships on the field, like how Robida drew it. For that reason, 6mm is the one and only scale for me!
