It was suprisingly fiddly. The reference photos all had different lens distortion and were slightly the wrong angles. The rough stage seemed to take forever. Sketchup would have been a big help...except it would have probaly taken me longet to learn and build the machines. Cool software though. I have a version on my machine which I periodically come back to but I don't really know what I'm doing in it. The Grown up version exports AI files I understand. sigh. So much cool software so little time :-) Thanks Zeb. It was suprisingly fiddly. The reference photos all had different lens distortion and were slightly the wrong angles.

Pictures like this can be very tedious :-D I usually calculate how much time a pic will take by the number of characters there will be, but in this case it's not only that but also all the machinery, perspective and--whew!--lots of detail. Too bad it wasn't 3D. Next time, try Sketchup for making the machine. Very nice, Dave!
