I wonder if you emailed UHU if they'd give any indication, weft.

what happens if you do a zoom extents in a side elevation? I'd expect it to go right in to display the grey blob in detail.. (unless there's an unwanted object out in the distance somewhere.)

were you in the correct elevation or view when importing.. it makes a difference in some programs?

Hi Roc.. I take it thats how the completed item will look shown in the small 3d view in the screen shot? Hey what software are you using?

it may of interest of you.. there's some discussion about a very small scale french helmet at papermodelers... '..since1758, the french light infantry had used this kind of helmet...' http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/figurines-anime/10288-citoyen-soldat.html

wow.. that is interesting. I've thought about trying to make a small scale Napoleon armies but mainly just as paper 'flats' format.

I guess it depends on how complex the object is. There was a tut for sketchup that showed how one could take a photo of an object and make it into a 3d model (within Sketchup.) They used a pic of a bird house in their example. The pic only showed the front and side and the roof. I guess one...

well it will be interesting to see what costume you come up with this year, Cashew.

hiya Taz.. do you collect real helmets.. or model ones?

there are certainly lots of models out there, vortigen. Certainly enough to take up all ones spare time, eh.

ta sirrob01, actually I've just spent the last hour or so looking at the info in your link. I'd never heard of pepakura before.. so must look into that.. I expect the unfolding is quite an art on it's own.

Hiya schorhr, yeah I found this site while searching too. I was looking for paper models and found a ref to it at papermodelers. Hmmm.. I see you got your 10 posts ok..

hiya sirrob01, hey do you design your models on a PC first .. or sort of do it using 'hard copy'?

Hmmm - its going back a while, schorhr. The string was fine white stuff.. like a fine parcel string.. (it was a small model.) ..and the clue.. I cant remember - maybe it was the plastic cement.. but not sure now.. Guess one would have to test some and see.

Hi guys, Its been a while since Ive made any models but recently thought Id get back into it again. I recently also joined the papermodelers as well. In the 1960s I used to buy little paper model kits from the UK. Some were early biplanes with the frame work made by covering string with...
