if we model in scale, why don't we use scale measurements when describing - or working - on our models?
i've just finished reading several of today's posts, and even though most builds are 1/25 - 1/24 scales, most modifications were expressed in 1:1 nomenclature.
example: 'i've chopped the top 1/4"' or 'to make it look better, i cut down the windshield 3/16"' or 'the body has been sectioned 1/8" front to 7/32" in back'.
do we not think in scale? not one post indicated the car rode on 3/4" cragar mags or 7mm cheater slicks. most used a scale size - so why not be consistent?
rant over.

i am faced with the assignment of modelling a concrete floor for a 1/25 scale garage. i would consider buying a resin slab if i could find a good source. there are probably some military modelers who know where ...

i have struggled for 15 minutes trying to locate a subscription for so i can enter a new 12 month subscription. the only thing i can locate is the old $34.95 subscription rate but there is a post which indicates a $29.00 for 12 month rate. that would be the deal for me, but is it valid and have an online form?

has there been any update on the condition of Bob Paeth? i did a search but March 8th was the last i could find. it was a positive update posted by Jan Paeth.
i was hoping Bob's getting back at the workbench.
