Hi Everyone,

This is my first post to the forum so I'll start by saying hello.

I'm considering designing a paper model of a modified Leander light cruiser (HMAS Sydney II/Perth/Hobart). I haven't built a purchased paper model since I was 9 years of age or built one to my own "design" since I was 13 or so (I used to enjoy making my own cardboard rockets, lunar landers, planes and the like as a kid). As part or this process I'm going to need to build a professional model or two to gain some experience.

I have enough hobby 3D experience to be dangerous but none whatsoever for creating shapes in a developable way. The software I am using is MoI 3D which doesn't have specific tools for this sort of thing but is an otherwise excellent nurbs modeller.

I am in awe of the design and build talent I have seen here on the forum pages. Hopefully, any questions I ask along the way won't seem too newbie.
