All those engines. You guys are gonna engine me to death.
I did a quick google search for 3-views, and didn't turn up much. |

Heelo
I'm working in Super Frelon in few days the model finished, no problems in first sections of fuselage... |

That's good. The front is always where I get nervous. Oh, and for the last 2 parts, in case the instructions aren't clear enough, the seams go on top (they're covered by the rotorshaft cover)
A question for everybody: I do all the models in 300px resolution in Photoshop, which leads to some large files for the larger planes. I'm limited to emailing 25MB, and a few have gotten close to that (I had to play with the Staaken to get it down to 24mb size) Would it be really noticeable if I lower the resolution to 200px? |

It may take a bit of extra learning but vector art is the way to go here. A similarly detailed vector file for your stakken could be under a meg or two.

There's a steep learning curve to get me into vector. I have Inkscape, but all I can do with it so far is open wmf's and save as pdf's.
I've tried working with it, but I can't even figure out how to zoom. Maybe I can knock the instructions down to 100px or so |

If you mean zooming in Inkscape Aaron....on the tool palette, click on the magnifying glass icon. Fourth from top on the side tool bar. then you can click the + or - buttons on the tool bar that pops up. Clicking and dragging a box zooms into the box you dragged out. I also just now figured out, if you left click on the document, it zooms in...right click, it zooms out.

That's a start. Now I just need to figure out how to select, cut, make layers, paste, rotate, resize, and color.

*Head explodes*
Is there a vector program that's more user friendly? |

LOL! I feel the same way. I find it easier for me to work in Photoshop than in Inkscape. I've watched Ryan's video, but am still lost in Inkscape.
I don't know of any other vector program that is more user friendly per say, but I would think since I am used to Photoshop, that Adobe Illustrator would be easy for me to learn/use.....but the only hurdle for me is to get the money to buy it. |
