Regarding the first question.

Blender will default to metric. The default cube is 2M x 2M. All measurements are metric. If you create an object that is 2m x 1m in Blender, it will be 2m x 1m in...

I mean... who knew we would be looking at screens like this after working with things like 3D...

Geez, I haven't even finished painting it yet.

YAY. We have new ORTS topic categories!

I would say... I have a little ways to go. Finish the Brake Wheel, Chains, and brake rigging are still in the works. I need to see if I can remember how to do WAG file stuff and it should be good to...
