Setting up master scene

From my work on previous projects i have done i have decided it would be a good idea to set up a sort of master scene early on. I used to rig characters in their own scene file. This caused a lot of problems with conflicting names when importing more than one rig into the same scene. In order to avoid this problem, i made sure to give a prefix of either PROF, PRIEST or GIRL to all of the models and controls so that they never get confused. In addition to this i have set up some nice scene layers for easier scene management, and chosen to skin the models in the master scene once i have made sure they are the right scale compared to one another.

And here's one of my scene layers. I like using these prefixes because it helps avoid confusion and is better ordered.
