I have an archaic version of 3D Studio, MAX3 which I just barely know the basics. I am just starting to learn texturing. It is a lot more tedious than I imagined. Another problem I have is triangular ordering. Two slanted quads with identical coordinates fails to be symmetrical because the triangles are ordered the same on both quads! Manually reordering each quad is not an option at this point.

Another problem I have with 3DS is that I would make a part, mirror it, so I have supposedly symmtrical parts for both the left and right side. But after I import it to pepakura the mirror transformation is not performed so I end up with two left parts. It is driving me nuts. Wish I had invested my time in a better CAD software.

Anyway, after I sort all these out I'd be happy to try to turn one of your original creations into a production model
