Folks, I've been thinking about starting a venture hand-painting Ground Targets for the Aerodrome Community, and I need some advice.
First, what are the usual preferred scales? I'm thinking WWII should use a smaller scale than WWI, and that we want a smaller scale for ground targets than planes to simulate altitude. David Manley suggested a couple 1/600 lines to look into... considerations here are widespread distribution and regular availability--much as I love Pit-Road 1/700 buildings (their U-boat pen BEGS to go into a Dambuster-type scenario) and planes they're right nasty buggers to lay hands on with any kind of reliability.
Second, for things like tanks and AFV's... better to base them individually, as sections or complete platoons? My main thinking here is to start by developing a standard catalog that can be knocked out on demand and I can crank out a few dozen at a time to maintain ready stock.
So let's open up a discussion, that I might distill into a series of polls later. If you're a 3d ground-target user, what would you like to see in a possible Aerodrome Accessories-exclusive line of them?
For The Record, I don't even know if I have the skill to attempt this, but a big part of my thinking here is to use your input to guide my selection of pre-production samples--and I'm thinking about suggesting some of the samples be raffled off, with a stipulation that the winners write a review of their prizes.
