Surprised seeing traffic in forum 43...!! There is very less activity in forum 18... Sad..

Not really that surprising to me...........
there are far more images being produced in 1:43 these days than in any other scale - they have more to talk about.

Well . . . . the format for this board is pretty old these days and posting pictures is WAY easier on places like FB. I post their a lot more because posting pics is simple.

Maybe sad, but, apples and oranges...
...gets to how and when the Forum was founded and accessibility, flexibility, variety and affordability of the models. Which is not to say 1/43s are cheap...they can be as pricey as any 1/18.
They have an energetic moderator who worked in the industry and engaged collectors that are buying/selling models constantly. You can fit 200 models in the same space as 75 1/18 models...so it just scales differently (yeah, I did that).
I'm glad they have an active community - not sure comparing the scales is something I'd worry about personally.

Actaully, there are more NEW 1/18s than I'd thought there be just a few years back.
