I most likely will go with fusion 360 down the road, I do not mind paying if I will be using it regularly. As for now I want to get my feet wet and become familiar with using design software and see if this is something I want to pursue. I have been dabbling with SelfCAD when I have the time, I need to watch more vids on how to "do" certain things. I tried a simple "L" angle to make a Sherman sight for the turret, I spent two hours on something simple and still didn't look correct lol. Trying to figure out how to have holes in it by extruding and have equal spacing etc. I know it is a learning curve, and I will figure it out. When you don't know what you are doing it can be a little frustrating. To design say the Sherman that Risky is designing, and this may sound dumb, but do you take measurements of the tank first or do you design it then scale it down?

Thanks
