If you think we're nuts with all our tanks/figures ect. in 1/35th or 1/72nd scale, then model ship builders are off the wall. I have been building a 1/350 ship, the John Brown, and my hats off to you ship builders. After about 7 hours to assemble just the wenchs for the deck I thought I was going crazy, blind and had lost all my sanity. I will never grip about small parts in 1/35th again. Now I have to get ready for the rigging. Think I'll just hang my self instead.

Hey Bob, You lost your sanity a loooong time ago, don't blame it on a ship model. If you really want to be amazed check out some of the work done on Model Shipwrights in 1/700 scale. Those guys must be moonlighting brain surgeons or have their own personal electron microscope. Your long time partner in therapy,Al

I agree, I thought 1/144 was way too small till I tried a 1/700 ship. I thnk I'll stick to myu 1/72 addiction.
