Some time back my son purchased the game Chromehounds. Hunting around on the net he found a variety of wallpapers and things, including three papercraft items from Sega. Not knowing what to do with those he filed them away on cd and forgot about it. Some years later I start getting into...

I can't comment overly much as I'm still wet behind the ears around here. However, so far I've learned a goodly amount in regards to construction of card models, and found a great deal of inspiration from other members posts. Of course there are also some very daunting models posted which...

Yes it is. The only train model I've attempted is a brass and white metal Flying Scotsman. Nice kit and enough "fiddly bits" to keep most modellers happy, but it doesn't hold a patch to what is being built in this thread. It is marvellous to see not only the design process but the builds of...

Just went through this thread front to back as I'd not noticed it before. I am rendered quite speechless, which is unusual for me. Just amazing, truly amazing.

Still currently free for a short time - Hexagon 2.5 from Daz3D, which handles obj files just fine although it takes a little bit of thought to get used to the UI.

Shame you can't remember where you got it, that looks like a nice model. For those who can live with something similar, there's always this Colt M1911 or this one in Blue/Gold/BlueGold - I don't know if would look better using glossy or metallic paper. There's also this one from Smilie...

I don't find 3DSMax intiutive either. That's why I started with Rhino, it "clicked" for me. Same for Modo, it just seemed to work, where things like Lightwave, Max, Maya etc. All sat there and laughed at me. I couldn't make head nor tail of them. Afraid almost all of my construction work is...

There are some tutorials available from the company on YouTube Here I am uncertain if there are any specific tutorials for Bryce and Hexagon, but you should be able to find help in their forums if you get stuck on something. Sign up is free and there should be a link to the community on their...

There is less difference than you might think. Rhino is particularly excellent for engineering and is far cheaper than Autocad. However, Lightwave, 3DSMax, Modo and other software also can be used for engineering projects as they - like Rhino - utilise real world dimensions and can be...

No need to apologise for truncating the post, I'm not a fan of quoting entire posts to answer, but rather relevant sections that the answer is focused on. Somewhat necessary on really busy forums, but less so on more laid back sites which don't have a rapid turn over on posts. I see so many...

LOL, good description. :D Discovered and addicted. Soooo much fun. *sigh* I think I'm going to need a second lifetime to get done all the things I want to do, perhaps a third. I just noticed the Warhammer thread by Armorman, my son is going to go completely nuts when he sees what's...

For what it's worth, I had a nose around Amazon uk upon seeing this post, and there are what appears to be three books, well, they have different covers anyway. Build your own Robot - First in the list Build your own Robot - Second in the list Build your own Robot - Third in the list...

Offering information is such a generic thing, I tend to answer questions if I can, but I don't often step out and just blindly start waffling. In the past I used to do that and got into trouble. In the early days of forum software the systems weren't very robust and I frequently crashed sites...

The current wood model I'm working on is a Cutty Sark in 1/80th. The larger Billings model I had of the Sark was destroyed in a house move and I've yet to replace it and start again. I am somewhat tempted to simply use the plans I have available and make my own hull formers and base parts from...

Other models I've mentioned I also don't have photographs of, except a couple shots of "in progress". The Bounty and Victory were purchased by somebody so I don't have those models anymore and can't take finished shots of them. I will be making them again though as they were rather nice when...

I mentioned the Titanic a couple times, and it is easily the most satisfying of the models I've built to date. I thoroughly enjoyed putting the model together and the end result was very pleasing. I don't have any "in progress" photos of this model unfortunately as I'm not in the habit of...

Unfortunately things are somewhat out of sequence now, but I guess it doesn't really matter. I've added some build images of the Bismark model to the earlier post so that doesn't render out too weird. I've long had an interest in RC models, and was presented with an excellent opportunity...

I presume that the previous posts with the build images of the bismark and titanic etc have all gone the way of the dodo? Blast. Now they're out of order. No matter. More postings on the way. I'll answer your question shortly Zathros.
