    A Bit of Guidance Requested in Customizing a Model's Font...

    When it comes to fonts, I import a .jpeg of the font, (or whatever format it is), into Rhino, and copy it. I copy the font exactly as it is, or I am able to cut it out of the .jpeg, either way manipulate it. If you posted a picture of the font you're having trouble with, and can't find an easy...

    Spaceballs the Eagle 5 (Butch Price)

    I own a 24' motor home. It's an old one, but only has 40K miles on it. I love Spaceballs, firstly, because it's funny, but when I first saw the motorhome, I laughed my a$$ off! Nice little guy you have there. That's my motorhome at the Groton, Ct. Submarine base, when I was visiting the...

    Colonial Viper mk1 (sirius replicas) beginner build

    Nice Viper. It's good to start with simple models that yield great results. This model looks great because you took your time and built it straight. In the end, it's not as simple as it feels to you and the proof is the effort you put into getting everything symmetric, and squared up. It...

    SR-71 Blackbird; MP Model; 1/33 by tino

    tino Absolutely excellent and your "Model off Merit" is well deserved. I did not realize how big that model was. It's much harder to make a big flawless, and you have succeeded. Great job!! :)

    Serenity Firefly-Class (Jim Bowen template) building thread

    I could see how difficult a one-year-old would have picking this up. I'm 67 and want to pick it up and play with it! :)

    Forum Upgrades

    The "Front Page" is now the entry point. This will be key in attracting people who surf the net. The "Model of Merit" will now appear on the front page, and will be like it used to be, not just some words, but the member's model on the "HOME" page. What's one there may expand, as soon as we...

    MIKURU - Animefigur

    Human figurines, in my opinion, are the hardest things to make in paper. Depending on the type of ink, you can moisten the paper, and round the edges with a rounded wooden dowel on the interior to smooth out the face. ;) Menschliche Figuren sind meiner Meinung nach die schwierigsten Dinge, die...

    Member poles could come down to making a decision. Start the thread, take the first five people who wish to join your team. If a couple more shows up, grab them. Then you just gained have a team A thank you all, and you'll be done with it. 7 would give you a margin if some have to drop out...

    Chopper motorcycle made of cardstock paper

    They may sound kind, but they reflect the truth. Bikes are hard to make. This one really shines. Check out "Lou Dog's Chopper" in the link below. It may give you some ideas. https://www.zealot.com/resources/millemiglia-original-model-by-loudog.287/

    That, to me, would lead to what I don't think is workable. It would have to be a small group. Most design programs export to any file extension. Read my decision on this, it covers all basis and is the way that this will move forward. The "Team" would design their issues through P.M.'s, (or...

    Actually, in very many ways there are group builds in this forum, overtly and privately. I know what you mean, though, a dedicated subject project. I also think it would be a great idea. The hardest part would be selecting who does what part, and if that part isn't up to standard, all involved...

    DRACONIAN BOMB (1:1 scale) BETA TEST BUILD

    Without getting political, we need some bombs to describe what the heck is going on in this country. People always Blame Hitler, and rightly so, but the hatred started from the bottom up. A lot of people were guilty, millions, of course, millions died within trying to stop him. Freedom, Free...
