Subject: 3D Avalon

Just finished the basic layout for my first 3d model for FT. It can be found
at:

This was made using CorelDREAM 8, which comes packaged with CorelDraw 8.
It is essentially Ray Dream 3D Lite - which is it self essentially Ray
Dream Studio Lite. The really big draw-back to this program is the lack
or boolean operations. Also doesn't seem to be able to export to any format
other than it's own (.D3D). I'll definitely be upgrading the RDS 5.5 in the
next 2 weeks. The learning curve isn't too steep, considering I'm working
without a manual of tutorials.

Not sure how much surface detail I'm going to put on it. One thing that comes
to mind is weapon placement for depicting weapon's fire.

I'll be a nit-picker.
The back cylinder does not appear to be on the same axis as the beam to the
forward pod. Otherwise looks good (much better than I can do).
