          Very nice work.

          If you need a suggestion for the scale on the tape, perhaps this would help.

          I needed to make a couple of scales for a machine I've been drawing. I ended up drawing the scales in SketchUp, exporting an image and then used it as a material. Attached is one of the images as an example. I drew it as black on white and reversed it in my image editor. Becase of the holes, I made a PNG with a transparent background for it.

            Still working on the scale for the tape measure. I think I'll end up making my own. Had a chance to work on the plan under the scene. Imported and rendered in Modo 302. Need to work more on the bump and lettering.

              This all looks great. Are you going to bump the scale? It would be nice if the pencils had your business name with that slight emboss you get on pencil lettering.

                Excellent work.

                You might also put a smudge on the eraser end and scuff up the stop on the tape measure... a bit too shiny. But who am I to talk? This is great work!!!

                        Very nice work.

                        I really like the presentation with the plans and your company name on pencils. πŸ‘

                        PS: Are you sure the tape is in nylon? πŸ˜‰

                          Now it just looks like the real thing, you could of just taken a photograph. Somehow I liked the spiffy version. Ooh but that pencil's SHARP (like your estimates?). Great work!
