Mid September and just wanted to add that these are still free. My wife is interested in 3d modelling and actually found this before I read this thread. I went and checked and yep it's the same. She has gone and joined their (think it was) platinum club and is very enthused about this program...

I just picked up this hot air type gun thingamy that actually assists me with this. I accidently glued a piece together then realised that I made a major mistake. I read somewhere the reason I chose the hot glue gun is that I can reheat it to make changes. So nipped down to the nearest craft...

Sighs, once again I am upstaged by my wonderful partner. She snuck on to my pc whilst I was occupied elsewhere and was playing with Pepakura Designer when she solved my question. Simply this is the process. 1. Scale your model to the desired size, the pieces will appear wherever on your 2d...

I had thought about doing this but it wouldn't look pretty in the end. I think if I joined end to end to wouldn't be strong enough to support other pieces hanging from the newly formed piece. I imagine if I move the pieces around I can mitigate the extent of what pieces are overlapping and then...

Ah yes, so true Rogério, never argue with the Missus. I wish to learn a little more about various software "extras" I guess and maybe this is an opportunity. My first time resulted in the helm just 2 inches to small for fitting by my boy, and now going 2 inches the other way it's proving to be...

Well as the post states I am in a quandary how to solve the issue of printing a Pepakura design and discovering after I rescale it exceeds my page size. No matter how I try to rotate the image part it will not fit squarely in the page limit. My question is, can someone advise or point me in...

I live in what they call the Sunshine state of Australia, Queensland, in a small country town due west of the state capital however for the last few days the temperature has dropped to about 0 degrees Celcius, yesterday it was -2.. Not happy :) Hope you do get that chance. Thanks

I am interested in the Science Fiction and Fantasy Genre. I've always been passionate about TV shows/Movies of this theme and often desired having something tangible from a particular show. My brother gave me last year for Xmas a Stormtrooper helmet and that started me looking around at means to...

Found this site through a friend who recommended I duck in and have a look around. I've been interested in modelling for a while now, dabbled a little here and there however I've reached and age now where I can pretty much dedicate some serious crafting time. Anyways, learnt a lot already just...
