Some people are able to choose a scale for modelling, and stick to that scale year after year, continually exploring the possibilities.
Other people, like me, fall madly in love with a single scale for a while, and can’t bear the sight of any other modelling scales. This change between scales periods can be quite fruitful, since different scales allow for different types of models in a reasonable space.
Therefore, in order to be able to tell about all scales, OScaleModel.com will now be about all modelling scales, not just O scale.
The cars above reflect my movement between scales. In the center is a HO model of a German Volkswagen. I’ve been building in HO scale for many years and always enjoy the extremely varied model kits available. Older HO models, which tend to be rather small in scale fits well with my favorite wargame at the moment, Flames of War, so the possibilities are endless!
To the left is a 1:48, O scale, Tamiya model of a German Kübelwagen from WWII, more or less the same size car as the Volkswagen. O scale is very versatile since you can mix armour models with model railroad items as well as cars in 1:43 scale.
To the right is another Tamiya Kübelwagen, this time in 1:35 scale, which is a great scale for building all kinds of models related to WWII.
So, from now on, when reading articles on OScaleModel, look for the tag or category of the article to show you which scale the model is. Who knows, you might learn to appreciate the benefits of another scale!
