So far I have gotten some pledges of support. I realise now that I should
have cross-posted to the two existing rec.models.* groups. So, for their
benefit, I will summarize:

	I propose a new group for the discussion of modelling, scale,
scratchbuilt, etc. The tentative name (see below) is rec.models. I am
striving for an open forum where people can discuss things from finishing
techniques to reviews of new kits. I do not wish to have it restricted
only to modellers who exist for exact reproduction, nor do I want it
leaning hard towards scratchbuilding. Plastic, resin, wood, whatever the
medium of choice.

Since then, it has been suggested that the group be called rec.models.misc,
or .plastic, or some others. Granted that .misc is the most appealing of the
choices, I don't see anything wrong with rec.models. .rockets and .rc are
SIGs of modelling, each going beyond the questions of construction to the
questions of flight. I am still open to suggestions. I understand the
need for a period of discussion, followed by a period of voting. I would
like to start voting around January 5th - 12th, finishing by the 30th or
Febuary 6th. Until then, I welcome your comments.

Randy

I'd rather discuss religion with Charles Manson than talk ethics with Congress
