"It would be more work, but I'd love to see multiple build techniques. On this site I'm seeing a lot of different build techniques, but usually when someone scratch builds, they go with foam. I don't even know where to get the kind of foam they are…"
"I'm excited to start reading it, so I'll be looking for it to arrive. I wish someone would do a book on how to take a design through to construction. That part is a mystery to me. CAD is sort of intimidating although I find Google Sketchup a piece…"
"Can you elaborate on the design and build process? Did you use software and if so what kind. Any information about this process would be wonderful. Thanks."
