This might be the first time I've seen someone release "twin" tutorials for the same model, for two different software apps, at the same time.  Great job.  I followed both of them today, and enjoyed creating this model in both apps!  Blender has some very good tools for measuring stuff, Lux.  You should check them out.  The only thing I miss so far is the Tape Measure helper object.  That came in very handy for me when modelling to scale in Max, but so far I haven't found the same kind of tool in Blender.  Still, Blender has got some really handy measurement features too, you just need to find them.
