Sometimes I get the feeling that nobody builds models in 1/144th scale.
Or those who do it, are ashamed of the "tiny toys" and don´t dare to publish their works of art.
Until today I have not been able to find any group or forum for 144th scale.
The smallest needn´t be the worst.
Some pictures - perhaps they encourage others to show their models, too.
The F- 15 is a bit more detailed, the Su - 27 by DRAGON is enlarged and reshaped - it was too small and a bit out of shape. The MiG - 3 is a resin kit.
The vehicles are 1/160 N -scale cottage industry resins from GB.
The figures are reshaped TT - scale. The cutting and sawing of the bodies took off so much material that they now are almost accurate 144th scale.
Most of them are from the German firm Preiser.

Very nice!!
I tried some of DML's 1/144 planes years ago. Turns out my fingers are too big and my eyes too weak. :)

Those are very nice. I kinda think John P hit it on the head though, most modelers have a hard time working on those tiny models because of large fingers or old eyes. I had a friend (a vietnam era friend I met who ran a local hobby shop) who worked on HO trains for many years, but got out of it and has gone O scale exclusively because the trains were just too hard on his eyes (he wont even touch N). 1/72 is about as small as I'll go, and I have 20/20 vision :)

I have a bunch of Minicraft's 1/144 planes under construction, as well as a 1/200 Spruce Goose and Space Shuttle. I like the little guys, you can get a lot more planes into a decent-sized space -- except for the Spruce Goose, it's huge even at 1/200.

Anyone know of a source for 1/200 Space Shuttle markings? The set only has two or three names, I'd like to build Enterprise, Columbia, or Challenger.

Well, I know Meteor Productions' Cutting Edge series has a decal sheet for 1/144 shuttle, with all names and markings, and another sheet for the tiles. Not for 1/200, though.

I have the same problem that John P. has, I can't see stuff that small. ;)

Your models do look great! :thumbsup: rr

Fantastic work on the very tiny stuff, schackel! I recently bought some 1/144 scale armor but havent started anything yet. I do agree with other others that age and old eyes have limited me to 1/72 scale.
