I voted yes, because I'm not opposed to one. I read the group via the "today's posts" option, so I see all the various forums in one place anyway - it doesn't increase the number of places I need to look. Nor will it bother me adding threads I'm not interested in - it's hardly that busy here. So if someone else wants to add another forum, I have no objections.

Good idea!

This way we have a place to post scale data.

Looks pretty unanimous so far.

Maybe there should have been a "Neutral" option in the poll.

I voted No but I have no objection to there being a Scale Forum.

As noted above, I check the "New Posts" and I see all the new stuff without having to scan each forum individually.

Reading via 'new posts' is definitely the way to manage your daily viewing.
Having the scale forum will help with future searches.

I voted "Yes", because there was no "Absolutely Yes!" choice....


If Rocksim and Gliders can constitute 2 of the 5 forums under "Work Bench" (and personally, I monitor neither), Scale is certainly equally deserving a spot.

Things I'd like to see such a group focus on are the details of a specific rocket, and techniques to make those details. Most of us know how to build models, but we could use a place to discuss the "rivet counts" and other things that distinguish one round from another.

I think it's a great idea.

It would be especially helpful having one place to look for "how-to" information on creating detail and determining scale measurements that right now you need to dig a bit for.
