Respectfully, I disagree. It's ALL kinds of awesome! I think it even makes up a few kinds of awesome of its very own.

This probably isn't the sort of comment you expect, but dear God, your camera is good... I can see the grain of the card!

That is a beautiful model, and you are a god among men. Very impressive design, thank you for sharing. :-)

Armorbimbo is no bimbo when it comes to model design - that collection is beautiful. Many thanks for sharing. :-) I have rated the models - I intended to give them all A+, but my mouse slipped on file 3 and I clicked A instead. :-( Sorry.

Your train set there looks awesome! I've been trying to design something similar for a while, but only as flat modular terrain pieces. Hadn't considered that something at that scale would be buildable. Well done. :-)

OK, ta, let's do that. In that case, two newbie type questions: is there a limit to the amount of pictures that can be included in a post? do I need to host the images externally or can they be posted to the forum directly in the thread?

ANOTHER UPDATE: I have finished the first part of the tutorial, but in the process have trimmed a lot of redundant stuff from part 2. I'm ready to post part 1, but I'm not sure that it's best to post the whole kit and caboodle straight to the forum in post form or whether I should link to it...

UPDATE: Again, I haven't forgotten this project. My plan was to use a human-scaled model of a LEGO lightsaber hilt as this project's model, but although the 3D modelling process was fairly useful the process of breaking the model into buildable parts was proving to be, well, boring. cylinder...

That is a lovely little model. Full of character. Brilliant work. Thank you for sharing.

I've just read through all 35 pages of this build and I have to say that both the model and the quality of the build are jaw-droppingly amazing! Amazing work, skoda, and thank you for sharing the build process.

A 1:1 scale model of a car. Those wacky Japanese. No doubt I'll see the first test build here.

Thanks for the support. Just to let you know, I haven't stopped working on / thinking about this tutorial. I've spent the last couple of days making screenshots of the build process in Wings and have a few more steps to go there before I start writing up. First, though, an introduction and...

Lovely model. Speaking as a LEGO fan of too many years, your LEGO minifig models are awesome. If I may ask, how do you attach the arms to the torso?

Following a declaration of interest, in this tutorial I will demonstrate how to design a card model using the free 3D design application Wings3D. Wings is a subdivision modeller - meaning that you create a simple object (like a cube) and subdivide it into smaller parts to shape. It's kind of...

I think it is good. I will PM you and await the fruits of your knowledge. This topic is currently on hold. We value your custom.

Right, I'll get on it, although that wasn't an aspect of the process I was expecting. I could summarise that with the following: Find a good reference image and crop it so that the edges of the object are at the edges of the image. In Wings, right click and select ImagePlane, then select your...

My hobby (and someday hopeful small business venture) is designing board games that are also paper/card model kits. My first free game uses the Elite computer game as its inspiration. The web page for it is here: http://daftworks.co.uk/madcap/index.php/ELITE_Station_Run NOTE: Although the...

Continuing my theme of retro gaming models, I here present the Icarus from the game Starglider 2 I have no screenshot, build pic or anything for this, so I'll just settle for posting a link to the PDF. I hope that's OK...

Willdo then, thanks. That was, in hindsight, a fairly "newbie" question, as a quick glance over the forum would have revealed the "Free Models" section of the forum (where I have now posted my first model topic!!). It's an indication of the quality of membership that no-one responded with...

If anyone remembers the game Elite from the 80s then you should like this. I've designed a collection of ship models from that game in the style of the recent open source remake Oolite. I don't have much in the way of build pics, but here are some shots of the Adder from the set...
