Mike, I thought of that and if I get stuck I can always shrink them down too. I'm forcing myself to learn new techniques, ie scratchbuilding, which is just a short hop to outright designing. I have a few Profile Morskie books which are incredible. I was playing with the Hatshushima book, I scanned some of it into my MGI program, and the parts almost magically translated into 3D parts. I fiddled around the 3 view drawings added some color and the parts actually came out ok. My mistake was one of scale and the files came out Huge @ 40Mb! Also, in 1/250 when I added the little details, on the screen they look big but when you print them out they were like fly dirt on a table cloth! Thanks for your input
