You would be surprised, Don, how easy it can be to build these models. The smaller scale requires some simplifications in the design, inducing less complicated and small parts, yet a very realistic result. It even allows for quick builds
Brent,
I couldn't agree more when you say that "1/100 scale is the new black". It's the perfect balance between facility, realism and storage space.
Soon I'll be going back to that scale having done almost 600 (free) models in 1/300 scale. Even if that means that I'll have to disappoint a lot of builders.
