"Add Ahistorical 1:72 Board?" Topic

I would rather see a 1/72 scale plastics board. The plastic soldiers board gets usurped on occasion by the news/questions of 28mm plastics.

I agree with Who asked this joker on this. I don't think the unique characteristics of 20mm/1:72 scifi figures over other figures of this scale merit their own board. However, it would make sense to put such a post on the 1:72 and scifi boards.

I agree – a board for 1/72 scale plastics and a board for 28mm hard plastics would be a good idea – they are a different audience.

Although some (3 or 4 ?) years ago I proposed a poll along those lines, and it failed. Back then most people thought 1/72nd soft plastics and 28mm hard plastics were obvious partners for a single board. That still seems odd to me – and maybe the time has come to ask that bigger question again.

I agree with WATJ … 1/72 plastics are of interest to me, 28mm hardies are not.

Re the poll, this is about non-historical 1/72 … tricky to answer that as I would like it (as it would make ignoring the genre easier) but I would not 'support' it as I would never read or post on it.

Given how people crosspost does it really matter?

No new boards are necessary in any way.

Or. in traditional TMP parlance.. "More Boards. Lovely." 8)=

Well, according to most of the opinions expressed so far, whatever the result of this poll, it seems reasonable to split the plastics board, and instead have one board for 1/72 scale (whatever the material – plastics, metal, etc), and another board for 28mm plastics; as 20thmaine suggested, these are quite different audiences, as players in one scale will find a lot of interest across historical periods, but not simply in terms of material.
