I enjoyed the movie. Though I came away confused as to just how much I liked it? Still the mechs were awesome so this is welcome news!

This thread brings back memories of back when I was trying to gauge support for a detailed model of the Scimitar from Nemesis. That was also considered an ugly duckling that not many really cared for. The Vengeance is one I can't make up my mind about. i like it from certain angles, but then...

I like this! I've thought about building a model like this many times but never got round to it. I'll be watching this one. :)

Upper level? No, not that I'm aware of but you can make a reasonable income from this hobby. At the end of the day it takes time to create these models and some skill. I do believe that people's time is worth something so I have no issues with the sale of models. I used to sell my own work but...

No the resolution is the same. My images to give an example of the problem are JPG's so no doubt corrupted slightly during the upload for my post. But the discoloration in my first image is how it looks after converting to PDF. Another forum has suggested that it may be due to me not saving my...

Evening guys, I'm designing a Boeing 747-400 for my son and I to build during half term. I'm in the process of adding the textures for it and thought I'd do a test conversion of the file to PDF to see how it would look and there's something that's bothering me. The images get slightly altered...

While we're on the subject of creating textures. I'm designing a Boeing 747 for my son who loves planes. For this one I'm pre-texturing it the way D-Whale describes. Applying basic textures in Metasequoia, then once it's unfolded I'll go over this again to add more detail and the colour...

Yeah. Though I don't always go back over the texture after unfolding. It depends really on how it all looks after going through Metasequoia and then Pepakura.

For texturing I normally use Paint Shop Pro. I've used it for years so know it better than other tools out there.

I honestly don't know what the deal is with it? Or the creator's reasons for it no being available right now? If I were to create a new 1701-E then it'd be completely from scratch as far as the 3D design goes. I'd possibly use existing images to help create the textures. But I'd prefer this...

The software I use is Metasequoia. The 3d models are my own creations though. "LIGHT WORKS" are responsible for the original images I've used to help me create textures for my 3d model. But it's all done in Metasequoia.

I honestly don't know? I've been absent from this hobby for a while so I feel almost new to it all over again now in terms of the models available and the "trends". :) But I had noticed that there was a lacking so to speak of Enterprise E models which is why I offer to design a new one.

I certainly shall. :) Got the pod mostly done now. It wasn't as bad as I'd feared.

Getting more done. I also made a change to the rear end. I'd interpreted some reference pics wrongly so needed to tweak it to add the odd shuttlebay in the engineering hull. Also, more textures added. Don't all reply at once guys! It's getting hard to keep track. LOL! :D
