Do I love it? No. Does it look like a good start? Yes. Your walls need thickness but all in all a good start. Keep it up and keep us posted

Bozilla, You might have some luck at this site, http://www.3dcadbrowser.com/preview.aspx?ModelCode=1172 I notice that some of the aircraft models have interiors. Mike

i am a small timer around here! dont mind me!

Impressive model!

Gully, I'm not going to try to make an engineer understand (proper) design, aesthetics and such - from experience it just won't work. I don't want this thread to become a flame war so I'm going to close it. Sorry "jessalba" for closing your thread, I really like your attempt and the potential it has that can be developed.

Also you can insert an infinite plane in Kerky so that your model does not seem to be floating in open space. Otherwise getting really nice, indeed.

Have a look at Ross' notes about styles here: http://www.sketchucation.com/scf/viewtopic.php?f=154&t=2628 According to them, you are not even supposed to be able to export all the edges all the time. But a nice concept!

While it is now regrettable that the gas pipe was installed where it was, you lived with it that way for five years. No offence but rather than think the Contractor lazy, perhaps you really were the lazy one for not confirming all dimensions before you bought new equipment. Here in North America renters typically aren't allowed to do any renovations. It sounds like that is different in the UK. Since you are a renter I wonder if you could approach your landlord about splitting the costs on having the gas pipe relocated. My thought is the landlord accrues a benefit by having it updated so it seems reasonable (to me at least) that the landlord might agree to pay some of the cost. (The benefit being that should you ever leave, the unit will be more rent-able). Regards, Ross

Thanks for the comment,still working around this program Rgds Tom Posted by - Tom Yong

Definitely proud. I am a member of some about 10 forums. Some more I canot recall a name of a single person on it. There is no place like home.

Okay so this thread is about the 'How It's Made' tv program. Why the "New Fantasy" part of the title? What's that have to do with anything? Invader ZIM, I guess what I'm asking is why did you think this topic would be something good to discuss? If there's something about it that interests you then it might have been better if you started the discussion by explaining your interest. Do you have any particular interest in cultured skin tissue? What about traffic lights interests you? If there is then you should have taken the time to write about those interests in your first posting. That would have given this thread context and allowed a meaningfull discussion to follow. I realize you (Invader ZIM) are probably the youngest member here. Most of the rest of us, as you can see from our avatar pics, are probably older than your parents. We can all get along and have meaningful discussions but it does require each of us to try and communicate clearly. Your original title for this thread, the "quote", and your words have not communicated very well. If you walked up to some random adult in a mall and said "New Fantasy How it's Made Episode: Today...on How it's Made. Blood, human skin, hybrid vehicles, and traffic lights!" I'd suggest they wouldn't understand what you are talking about. It's not much different here. Most of the discussion here in this thread has been about trying to figure out what your point is. In general please take enough time to re-read your words before you submit them to assess if others will be able to understand your point. By the way I like the TV show and watch it occasionally with my kids. We always learn something from seeing it. Regards, Ross

You didn't use Sketchup! Traitor.

Glad to see you are on-board Bert also looking forward to seeing your avatar. I do appreciate you spending time typing your posts and I'm sure others are also. I take it that English is not your native language ? The more I think about it the more I see a need for a variety of language forums. I really don't think it would distract from the main forum, if anything it would give non english speaker that have some difficulty with english a chance to express their thoughts and ideas in their native tongue. It would be up to the english speakers to communicate using web translators if we do not speak the actual language in question ....... could be some fun AND we might even learn a few new words along the way Mike

If you already have a homepage then you already have a url for it.

@daniel bouchard said: Edson, it may be a little bit colder in Quebec City than in Brazil hi daniel, of course we do not get the same cold temperatures here but the south of brasil has real winters. right now it is 9C and it does feel cold. because we wrongly think all brazilians live in a tropical country (but only part of us do) no homes have heating systems thus we feel the cold even more. the winter lasts about two months and we have to make do with heaters and fireplaces. best regards. edson
