I have been having this ridiculous idea in my head for one or two weeks and just wanted to let it out of my head.
I love WWII US carrier borne aircrafts and some modern ones as well. Since they are all in 1/48 scale (cept for a tiny Tamiya 1/72 corsair, good kit though) and up, I am thinking about converting an entire display shelf just for them. getting wood strips and lay them right over the shelf and try to figure out a way to do those metal strips for tie downs out of body filler. the thing is that shelf is pretty darn big at at least 2 1/2 by 4 feet. should I try to do the deck in 1/48 scale, which would take me a year, or to save some work and do it in 1/32 scale. The only modern ones I got are F-14As in 1/32, 48, 72, and 144, but am thinking about getting that trumpeter A-7 and another Tamiya phantom II (shouldn't but i want to...) so now the debate comes to whether I should be laying out the deck modern style or wwII style.
I will leave that off till summer I guess, but there is at least one thing I am sure about, most of the wings are to be built folded.
