I've to say very litle information is available about this one, a good 3d view is available, but I just found a couple of pictures online, if someone has more pictures this Could be very helpful

Here some renders:

See you soon

Alcides, I may have asked this before, and I apologize if so, but with what tool are you using to design this? I've just started "playing around" with Sketchup, but the free version has some limitations to say the least (such as cannot create ellipses, apparently.)

Thanks!

Robert, i believe Alcides is using Rhinocerous3D.

Roberts Legion is right!!! I'm using Rhinoceros 3D version 4.0 for the design.

I'm have this book too:
Book World War I Card Model Design a Step by Step Guide - ECardmodels.com Shop - Downloadable
from Roman which has been very helpful.

Regards
Alcides

and it is helpful. I have some background in CAD, but these 3D programs are something new to me, so I will gently attempt them when I can do so. IN a way, there is the same fascination as with a good game - the solving the riddles and puzzles keeps time 'flowing in a torrent'. Thanks , guys.
