Nice stuff! I picked up a copy of Rhino 3D for Mac (thanks!) and will go through its features. Nice software with a lot of useful tools... "PictureFrame" with the ability to bend and fold would be fantastic! Photoshop has become pretty complex. I use it in my "regular job" pretty often. I use...

Thanks bgt01! I think that's a great idea! I have access to a few "Shelter Manual" covers and related ephemera that I can use. I was also thinking of mocking up a 1963 newspaper – with a headline like, "CUBA BLOCKADE FAILS" or "U.S. STRIKE ON CUBA IMMINENT." Scary stuff, indeed. Thanks for...

Ah! Ok, got it. Thanks! Thanks for your kind words and encouragement, too. There is so much amazing and incredible talent on this forum. It makes me want to offer my absolute best efforts. Ha! I can't imagine how much ink I would need for my "sofa-sized" printer! Thanks! mbhdesign

Hi Revell-Fan! Love it! "Come with me if you want to live... in 1:10 scale!" That's a great idea. Thanks for your encouragement, too! I recently went on a tour of the Greenbriar Resort in West Virginia. They have a hidden Cold War-era bunker tour, it's where members of the US Congress would...

Thanks, Zathros! Thanks also for editing my post with thumbnails. I will have to figure out how to post thumbnails in a post, while having the full size image posted to Resources. I'll have to learn how the forum links the two... sorry about that. I'll re-read the forum guidelines on posting...

mbhdesign submitted a new resource: E-33 Blaster Stock and Grip Templates (1:1 scale) - Printable templates to make the stock and grip of Boba Fett's blaster. Read more about this resource...

Thanks! I will definitely look into Rhino3D as another tool for my toolbox. I agree with you about Blender – after spending hours trying to learn its less-than-intuitive interface, I realized I was spending far more time learning that tool than designing and building models.. ha! I will...

Hi Rhaven, Thanks for your welcome! I'm digging through many of my "in development" files to see if I have anything far enough along to share. I just uploaded a set of pattern templates I created a few years ago for the stock and grip of the "E-33 Blaster" from Star Wars (Boba Fett's weapon...

Hi Zathros, Thanks for your welcome! Yes, I like to "tinker" with Hexagon and DAZ Studio and have built some models (.obj with textures) for free distribution on ShareCG.com (my portfolio page can be seen here). I also have access to Strata 3D CX 7 and Blender, though the interface complexity...

Hello all and Happy New Year! I just wanted to introduce myself as a new member to the forum and I'm very glad to have discovered it. I'm a professional graphic designer, based in Washington, DC, and have been an avid fan of paper modelling since I was 10 years old – back in 1980. I started...
