A few weeks ago,
I posted photos of a Lancaster model here. This model was—and is—intended for play. Someone commented that it was quite large, so I decided to make three more, scaled down to 70% of the original size. I also reduced the number of parts. Now that I see them side by side, I think the ideal size lies somewhere in between? The large Lancaster is clearly sturdier and would likely hold up longer than the smaller version; the smaller one, on the other hand, is easier to handle. In short, I’m not sure which one is best suited for a child’s hands.
