What about RAIL,  DIOS and SCI-FI (space to be more specific)?

Dios would fit under whatever the main subject of the model was. Tanks surrounded by infantry=armor, airplane around a ground crew=aircraft, bunch of guys walking through a field=figures.

Space or sci-fi would get divided as to what the purpose of the subject was. Rocket ship or space fighter would be aircraft, alien or other monster would be figures, a lumbering AT-AT would be armor, or other ground vehicle would be automotive (like Batmobile or Green Hornet car).

Rail would probably fit into automotive unless it was some sort of WW2 armored train, then armor.

DIOS could fit into whatever category the prodominant model does.  I haven't seen a Rail category; but if you're talking about something like a Leopold, it could go under "Artillery"; but that would mean a 6th category.

I don't see how you can lump everything into only 5 categories.  The five I gave earlier were in my opinion the most frequently seen.

I would like to condense ALL modeling Genres down to only five MAIN categories.  I think its possible.  

But, because there are so many I am having difficulty doing so.  Help me narrow it down to five.
