Philip BunchHello Gents of the feather,
I have read the comment by Treehugger, and I too hope to see QE2 in 1/350 scale. I used to dream of walking into the local hobby shop and seeing model ship boxes that were huge and inviting to the "kid" in the modeler of us all. That would be waaaaay cool. I just remember being impressed by the LINDBERG, "Blue Devil Destroyer". That was 1970-ish. Today, the RMS Titanic in 1/200 scale just about does it. So, why not the QE2 in 1/350? For that matter, I would prefer to see the SSUS in either scale. I must now say this; I'm 63 and not in the best of health. I very realistically fear leaving the conscious before having built all of my, "Favorite Kits", that I have . . . today. . . . ! Without getting entirely lost, I may never again post a, "Run-on", comment like this one.
With all of the factors and considerations to whom it would obviously concern, the creation of A-N-Y, "Queen of the seas", in 1/350 would no doubt, "tickle", the boy in each of us. If you are a woman and were about to drop, $400 plus on a 1/350 Queen Elizabeth 2, this would apply to you too.
For all of we whom know and understand the plethora of considerations prior to the commitment of creation, I'll leave it all out. For one thing, I am NO EXPERT on the subject of all that would go into the process of new kit creation. I'm sure I would miss something.
Here it is; what is the average age of today's plastic modeler? What was the average age of the plastic modeler of 1970? If I'm anywhere close to being accurate, I'll begin with my guess.
I built my first model at age 5; that was 1966. By 1970, I have built many ships, subs and airplanes, but I still think the average modeler was about ten to fifteen years my senior. One of my best modeler friends is 75 today, and he
is still cranking out 1/48 a/c. I just reached the age of 63. So, what is the average age of today's plastic modeler? I can only guess. I would guess somewhere between 55 and 65. Mortality not being ignored. *This is my long answer.*
Here is my short answer:
If you want a 1/350 QE2 in a smaller box, then do what the 3D cottage industry kit makers do: make the hull in two
pieces . . . . . length-wise. Is this wise?
My hats off to every plastic modeler. For, it was you whom kept the big kit makers in business while I had enough money to buy a kit every other week. That was when my dad gave me $0.75 cents to mow the front yard, and I got
$0.50 cents for mowing the backyard.
You guys are so lucky. I'm stopping here!!
"You guys make this hobby fun!"
