That poll included also another category: Preferred Era Total Votes WWII 1144 Post-War (Korea, Vietnam) 362 Modern 362 Between the Wars 57 WWI 51 Other 46 That means, that poll was made by almost 2000 of non-WWI modelers, and 51 us. So what do you want to say, you, who were so proud of 'scale' poll results? The only truth coming from that poll is, that WWII and jet builders like 1/48. AM I RIGHT?

In all the years I did 19th c. living history, people were always curious about the historical use of eyeglasses. A dear friend of mine that used to work with me is an avid WWI collector & historian of the time period. He was quick to point out to folks that the first time the US Army tested the vision of inductees was during the call-up during WWI. The result you may wonder? 80% of all inductees had less than 20/20 vision. I guess those of us that "prefer" 1/72nd scale are part of the ongoing revolution that has benefited from improved diet and medical care over the years. (Matt, I dabble in 1/48th [the flashing, blue-light special of modeling scales] so as not to appear too snotty. It makes me seem more accessable.) Shields Up!
