In the Poser ListServe, Big Chill just mentioned this site that I had never seen anyone here reference before. It has about a hundred good .3DS models including miltary, domestic, industrial, architectural, zoological and anatomical pieces. No author names or contact info though. ...hmmmmm ...be wary. Does anyone know of a Karl Linder?

I'd be very careful about this one. The models I saw on the site look just like models from the "Model Bank" created by the Spanish company which is now known as De Espona 3D. The company still sells the "bank" for about $500. Viewpoint Datalabs also purchased rights to sell the Model Bank, but they charge far more for it, requiring that you purchase a membership for several hundred dollars even before you buy a model! What I'm saying is that it's unlikely these models were created by this guy and he probably has no right to give them away.

Excellent models....be very careful. I suppose its okay to download them, just don't repost or use them.

I have to agree with smallspace and Ihawk. I checked it out and loved some of the models. However, without a clear explanation of rights, ownership, etc. anywhere on the site I have to swear the site off. If I cannot tell for sure that I can legally use them, I don't dl. Too hard for me to keep track of what is "useable" and what is not. Old age I guess...
