Learn the Black Art of building new 3dz's?

And how to repair old EAW bodged models?

Hi John

I'm interested

Cheers

Hi John,

well if you are offering to write a detailed manual for the latest 3dz editor/RS calculator, I would be interested, but at the moment I am too busy with the ww1 map and Burma to actually make any models myself, but one day ............


cheers,

Oh yeah,

All I want to do is try and get you started in the right way of doing things. It will take a bit of time and thought, because you'll need to forget everything you know about bodging 3dz's to make them work.

What I will do then is describe in very simple terms how to build a fully working 3dz.

I'd like to do this in small stages, posting daily chunks, so non of us get diverted for any length of time from our pet projects. Yes, that means you too Pobs!

Now, can we agree on a simple project?

Don't suggest something big and complicated, as you need to learn to crawl first, before you walk and run.

I think you'll all learn fast if you build, with me, and see how making the model in a certain way is vital to success, using bulkhead elements to cut the model up into small sections.

Gee willikers.. a genuine university class taught by one of the legends.

May I audit the session please professor?

Hi BoilerPlate.

I'm no Prof, just a bit enlightened, and if I can help other to get over the fear of building a clean model, then I think we will see lots of new models appearing.

Guys.

How about a typical German water tower?

How about a fairly straight forward Atlantic wall emplacement then ?... not too many elements to work with in the basic shape.....
