last! The long awaited continuation of the MODEL DESIGN
& BLUEPRINTING HANDBOOK series is now in the works.
In
VOLUME 2,
you'll see how to turn 2D blueprints into patterns that can
be used to build 3D models. Then, learn how 3D "power
tools" can make the blueprinting and pattern-making process
quicker, easier, and more accurate. This comprehensive guide
will demonstrate how both 2D drawing and 3D modeling tools
can be used together to streamline the design phase
of all your modeling projects and ideas.
