Talk:Scale model

[edit] New layout

Moved the history lower it is longwinded and hard to read. There are thumbnail pics for most topics now. Fourdee 02:57, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I think the history section works better at the top, since the rest of the artcle keeps referring to scales as its main point - maybe that's what needs changing in this article. The whole thing is very long, each section might better be reworked as summaries of their main articles. -ErinHowarth 05:42, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I reworked the aircraft section as a summary of the main article, adding a bunch of stuff about media and moving most of the discussion about scale to the main page. I think I'll add another image or two and then move on to another section. -ErinHowarth 14:34, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] wargraming

The model ships and naval wargaming original article section had a variety of statements which are questionable, or at least obscure. I have attempted to clarify them as much as possible, including -

more accurate discussion of 1:1200 vs 1;1250 scale,

further discussion of role of 1:1200 scale models in postwar development of naval gaming,

correcting the scale of the models used by Fletcher Pratt,

correctly attributing 1:570 scale to Revell, not Monogram as listed,

introducing mention of resin kits,

correcting the rather limited and somewhat incorrect discussion of model scales and standardization.

[edit] List of scale model sizes

Split-off this massive table to make the article more readable. If someone wants to create a small sample of examples for this main article, great, but I don't know enough to know which are notable enough to be examples. Staxringold 19:46, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
