Non WW2 Models site?

How about a site where everyone can display any models, figures, structures, etc. from time periods outside of the WW2 era. I know some of the guys have some WWI, Korean War, Modern Warfare and Sci-Fi stuff that they are rightfully proud of. I myself have some American Civil War Figures in the works. Perhaps as a stickey attached to the Modelling Forum? I don't know how it would work best.

Just a thought,
razorboy

Re: Non WW2 Models site?

I'd like to see all of that also. People should be proud of their work and of their collections.

The only question I have, like you, is where to put it all.

One idea is to allow medals from other eras in the Medal Forum. I believe there already are some.

We could do the same with models and so on.

If people object to the loss of "purity", and I surely can understand that, then I can simply make subforums in each of those areas.

I'm open to either of those, and to other suggestions as well.

What do you all think?

Re: Non WW2 Models site?

Not a bad idea! I'd prefer it as a subforum to the modellin' section.

Re: Non WW2 Models site?

I agree on the sub forum as a start. We can always expand as the need grows.
If there is one thing The Zone is getting at, its expanding.

Excellent idea Dave.
Hey were you the guy who built the ironclads or am I thinking of somebody else?

Don't forget Warhammer. There seems to be a big interest in it out there.

Re: Non WW2 Models site?

A sub forum would be the best for this. There are so many other models out there and maybe more techniques to go with them.
