Visual scale reference

Tip:

I picked up a few small cars, at Walmart, made by Malibu International and NewRay, that are in 1:87 scale and 1:72 scale, respectively. They provide a quick sense of scale if I'm scratch building or kitbashing something in those sizes.
It really helps me determine a feel for visable detail for that scale and is an especially handy reference for doing 'crew access' areas: cockpits, hatches, doorways and such.
