Hi Smike, thanks for your kind words. Usually I buy 1:35 plastic model kits. In this scale the details are good enough to really copy them into 3D model.

Do you use blueprints to make your aircrafts? I use blueprints but that is because SketchUp has a scale tool with nodes that can deform.

no I use 1:35 plastic kits and then I measure the parts. Some are aonly available as 1:48 plastic kit, so they have to be scaled to 1:35 (aprox). Planes and helicopters are usually available in1:32, whereas tanks and trucks are available in 1:35. So the 3D models are somewhere inbetween :) you said, you use blueprints. where do get those from?

Thank you Mr. Planet. I think that is a great source, when it comes to a few details that might not be available on the plastic models :)
