ok... I know that I am way over my head here... but i was just thinking that it would be a fun, long term project.

In any case, I have heard a lot about it, but I have no idea what "SPAD stuff" is, exactly

Ok, next question:
I have found 3-view drawings of the ship, not ever having worked with any CAD software, and only limited exposure to drawing programs (enough to draw, cut and paste, etc) What would be the:
1) easiset and 2) cheapest way for me to get a 3D model made so I could play around with where to mount stuff and things... I am now leaning to the thoughts of making it an EDF

I was looking around http://www.nextcraft.com and he makes it look so easy Thanks!
