Welcome to the new home of the 1/144 Scale Census
We are in the processing of moving hosts so please be patient.
News, Alerts, and Updates
* The infomation once found on the old Geocities site is not gone. It is either here or on my hard drive in the process of being prepared for upload. If you are looking for something specific, please feel free to email me and inquire. I may even have additional data in my notes that hadn't made it to the listing yet.
* A new company called Plastigram (available from Nostalgic Plastic) has started producing resin kits and their initial series is in 1/144.
* A 1/144 group build is starting over at FineScale.com. For those who don't know what a Group Build is, it is a group of modelers building on a common thread. Sometimes it is the modelers who have something in common (under 18, over 65, veterans). Sometimes it is the subject (prototypes, Anti-Aircraft, Regia Aeronautica). In this case it is 144. Anything 1/144th scale (less than half completed at the time the build starts is fine) is admissable. It runs... 144 days from 1 January 2010 to 24 May 2010. The organizer is hoping for 144 models to be built. So far 17 are committed. Stop by and show support or maybe join.
