Hey Kyle, and anyone else who is still around.
Just my opinion, but I don't think is is much 'lethargy' in 1/48 scale modeling, that prompted Ralph's original topic. I think it was more that the forum didn't take off like he wanted it to, and he didn't get the 'center of attention' that maybe he was hoping for? That might also explain why he seems to have abandoned it. I may be wrong, and it could be things in his personal life that caused it, but guess we'll never know.
I saw his posting for this forum on the Armorama forum, in the 1/48 sub forum. At that time, just starting back, I thought that forum was the only 1/48 one around, and could see that maybe a 2nd was a good thing.
I've since discovered the one maintained by Track48, and another, from Missing-Lynx. Both of those are pretty active forums, hence my comments about it not being lethargy.
For now, myself, I'm focusing more on 1/76 at the moment, for 2 diorama projects I want to do. I can get all items I need in either that scale or in 1/35, and do prefer smaller, so..
After that, have a future diorama planned, and that will probably be done in 1/48. I'll touch base here, but will all the folks on the other 2 forums, those will most likely be my 'go to' sites for questions.
So, I do think 1/48 is alive and fairly well, just not on this forum
Safe and Happy New Year to all.
