Hello All:

I submit a preliminary photo of a model I recently completed. I designed all parts in Inkscape, a free and open source vector editor. I will post more photos once I set up proper lighting.

Your preliminary photo looks very good Brad. The dining set appears to be the right thickness, not clunky. I really like the chairs. Looking forward to further pics.

That is very nice, well proportioned.

This is terrific. The lighting reminds me of the Victorian home I have visited—kind of dark with a yellow cast from dim lighting. Very well done model. Our public library provides access to Lynda.com and I’ve been trying to learn Inkscape by working through the course. You’ve inspired me to work harder. Look forward to more pics.

Good work. Will agree with C9B about the lighting that it looks period appropriate.

I have to admit the light is simply the result of poor lighting conditions. I will keep your comments in mind, though, as I set up for final photos.

I teach Inkscape and paper model design to a class of high schoolers. Except for textures, I find Inkscape to be on par, and sometimes exceeding, commercial programs like Corel Draw.
