The Scale Of Your Models. Which Do I Choose?

This is a guide to help you select not only your model type but the scale that you build it in. There are plenty of scales out there like 1/1250 to 1/6, but be careful if you want to do a diorama. There are some scales that have plenty of different figures and buildings and some scales that only have a few. For my cars I build only in 1/24 as there are plenty of cars and figures if I choose to do a diorama. It is also a good size for a car and looks right and is easy to work with. There are some cars in a bigger and smaller scale but not alot of different cars. The smaller the scale is can also mean that it is easier with fewer parts but the parts are smaller, and a larger scale can be harder with more parts but the parts are bigger. For my military vehicles I prefer a 1/35 scale as there are many to choose from and a great scale for figurines and buildings. It is also a great scale for looks and size and there are many different levels. If you keep the same scale for your military vehicles they will look better when displayed together or done as a diorama. As for my planes I have done a few scales but the one that stands out is 1/72, there are a lot of different planes in this scale and they have good detail. There are some military vehicles in this scale but not a lot and not a lot of different figurines of buildings. It's great to keep your model types in the same scale so when you display them they look better together. It's also a great way to compare the size of different vehicles as they would look in real life. Here are some great websites to know which scale is great for you.
