it just keepsgettin better Gecko Mybe that landing gear someone else mentioned. but it looks great as it is Hawkfyr

awesome

Looks great! btw- were you going to make the X-Acto Knife publicly available? Or at least email how you did it? I've been trying but can't get one that looks like that (or even close to what it should look like ... :P:)

Landing gear ya. My problem with it is that it's just too clean. I have a friend that's a modeler. His table has paint stains all over it. Fast Traxx has a spill model that might help there. In free stuff I think. On his table you'll also find extra model parts, pieces of the tree the parts were on, and usually crumpled paper towels and a tube of glue, cuts and scratches in the table from the knives, sandpaper, and usually a dremel. It's a wonderful picture, but if you're a modeler yourself, and you're going for reality, you KNOW no modelers table is this clean and neat, lol. We're just givin to ya here ain't we?

ok this is kinda ticking me off... i wrote the equivelent of a small essay in here :P and it didn't post... sigh such is life... ok anyways i think i will add landing gear... sometime ;) thanks everyone for commenting... boney- great idea! i'll werk on that too... just one question- dremel? can you tell i havn't modeled (physically, that is :) ) for a while? and jstawarz2- i don't think i'm gonna put it in the free stuff- mainly cause i can't upload to my site (:P don't ask) instead of emailing it i think i'll just try to describe how i made this right here so here we go... the handle is simple a cylinder set to positive grouped with a stretched sphere set to intersect (for the curved shape). the bumpy shiney middle place thingy ;) is one main cylinder forming the base and about 30 cylinders arranged in a circle around it (i moved the origin handle to the center of the big cylinder and mult-replicated). the small cylinders were then cut by negative cubes (i think it was cubes...) to get the 'ridge' thingys... hehe... the blade itself is all cubes, positive and negative. i'm sure you can figure that one out if you look at an x-acto knife while you're doing it :).

Oh, a Dremel is the small handheld radial tool that's similar to a drill, but higher precision. It has a set of some 250 tips, and is used by modelers to drill holes, cut, grind off the flashing on parts, grind, etch, a lot of actions. Shouldn't be too hard to model actually. I think primitives and booleans would do it if you can find a model to refer to
