Mark Deliduka Posted December 27, 2013 Report Posted December 27, 2013 Recently the Missing Lynx Braille Scale Forums held a Softskins Group Build in which approximately twenty people participated. Over fifty models have been completed in that group Build and the moderator of the Forums and Group Build compiled a Gallery of all the finished works from that Group Build. You have seen my submissions to this Group Build in my two Finished Models Threads; now you can see the rest of these incredible works in Braille. I submit to you now: a link to that post on the Missing Lynx Discussion Boards showing the lengthy Gallery of Softskin Masterpieces: http://www.network54.com/Forum/47210/thread/1387933385/BRAILLE+SCALE+GROUP+BUILD+-+2013.2+-+Gallery+%28Warning+-+picture+heavy!%29 Thank you for looking in. This is just a small example of how Small Scale is not yet dead! LOL! Enjoy!
Greyhound Posted December 29, 2013 Report Posted December 29, 2013 Mark - Ok- I am seriously impressed with what is see here! it is hard to believe that you guys can squeeze that much detail in so little space. I hope to see some of this at The Winterfest contest at Gillespie Field on Saturday January 25th in the San Diego Air and Space Museum Gellespie Field Annex.
Mark Deliduka Posted December 30, 2013 Author Report Posted December 30, 2013 Dannie, I would love to go, but as of yet, I have no ride. Don't think I'll get one in time. I do have a truck, but with the gas mileage it gets, I'll be out of money before I get there and won't be able to enter. I was going to bring Dora too. I do plan on being at the other show in June; I have a fellow IPMS member who drives me down there. Still, if things work out; I'll try to make it in January.
RGronovius Posted December 31, 2013 Report Posted December 31, 2013 In armor modeling, 1/72 scale and smaller.
Mark Deliduka Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Posted December 31, 2013 In armor modeling, 1/72 scale and smaller. What he said. It is also known as "Braille Scale" since rumor has it that anyone doing this scale goes blind from squinting at all the small parts. Another common tongue-in-cheek remark is that Braille Scale is dead because these small models are so small that nobody sees them when they are set down on contests tables. This also leads to the other tongue-in-cheek comment that Braille Scale models never win because the judges cannot see them to judge! Now before anyone gets upset, these are all comments made in jest; I myself have laughingly said them. I even made the comment about "I wonder if the judges will see my Dora well enough to judge her, she is in Braille Scale after all!" which got an great laugh from everyone around me. This is one of the Group Builds that we have done and the one with (so far) the highest participation. We do these Group Builds over on the Missing Lynx Braille Scale Forums every quarter; our next one will be "Shelf Queens". That one is expected to also have heavy participation, based on the number of people expressing the desire/New Years resolution to finish a number of models they have languishing on the workbench for far too long. I'll keep you all posted when that one gets done if you wish.
