Actually Tigerman, when it comes to ships, 1/600 is my favorite scale. Large enough for resperctable detail and small enough to allow for extra space on the shelf. Unfortunately, Japanese companies decided to force 1/700 as the 'standardized' ship scale so I've had to fill out my Navy with that scale.
Yes, I did start one 1/350 scale ship for a friend. It's still partially complete in the stash. I won't keep it when it's done; I have absolutely no room.
