Yep.
Thanks for clarifying that Matthew, it's exactly what I meant, but stated
much more clearly.
When I wrote my post I was thinking about what Mladen said (in the "why some
models get feedback" thread)... I came away thinking he was saying he was
more impressed by large models than small ones. That may not be exactly what
he meant. But if it is, I don't quite agree with it.
Without demeaning the difficulty factors that Bram outlines to do with large
models (all valid) I still think small IS hard. You have to plan more
carefully. (why do I like 6 wide better than 8 wide trains? because it's harder)
But Bram, you have no worries. You're an ace modeler in my book, at any size
factor you choose. Real OR virtual.

See your 2 and raise you one. :-)
