I am with you Scotty.Cant say what we think about this, but I know of people that this confuses and cant find the scale model bit.

Not quite but the world does TURN around us.

Has our problem been fixed already??
OH no it's not.

Now you see it,now you don't.
Those turners again,Scotty,I told you all they can do is turn things upside down.

GEEZ All we got so far is 4 votes and no explanation why it is a sub-forum.
What about the train guys.Where are they?

111 views only 4 votes what cant you vote yes or no or just someone who sits on the fence

Scotty.Too many LURKERS
There are also some who lurk on a forum habitually, and rarely, if ever, contribute. It is generally difficult to guess how many such lurkers are present, due to their silence. In flame-wars, a participant who is losing an argument will sometimes claim to receive email support from lurkers.
This is part of Wikipedia on lurkers

There's no rat's ring option, so for some of us selecting either choice would be a lie.

Have a look at post#2 That just about covers you
When I started using the Toy section was when I wanted to build a scale wooden car and didn't have a clue where to start.I got answere from various parts of WWF.
The Toy section was as close as I could find,when the Car isnt really a toy See Started My Car It now has 8886 views.This must be some sort of record for a single project.If I was making this now it would go in the scale forum.or maybe it should be transfered now.
I am building a truck now and not sure if or where I will list it

I'll 'ave you know that I've turned many a scale model.

It just that the scale I work in is 1:1

Shunting???

If you want an explanation, ask me. I did it in response to the request for a forum.

so why a sub forum, i think its restricting,confusing the people to view our work they keep going to toy making.

Logic.
A new Forum......how many posters are going to use it.........trial ....suck it and see process.

The above were the reasons it went to where it is now.
Lets see how the poll goes.

Hi y'all,
I wanted to sit on the fence, but I cut it down to make models, so I voted "yes" on the poll.
Yep, I'm the only one who voted yes.
My way of thinking is, most toys aren't scaled and they sit well on the Toy Makers Forum.
But, for those who do scale their models, they might be a bit more specific in what they want to know from other modellers.
Either way, I don't mind if the scale forum reverts to the toy forum, it's no big deal.
Aussie, cute photo of you in the pedal car, is that modelled on a specific car? looks like an old style English/American car, maybe '30's/40's?

Back to the sawdust factory for me
(makin a new workbench before starting any more projects)
