Good Drawing.

IMHO I think it might look better and be easier to build if the profile where the hatch meets the roof was curved into a smooth line.

Keep going!

Dee Bee,

Yeah, I thought that looked a bit "clunky" myself. I just haven't mastered the program enough yet to really polish the ideas.

thanks.

Thanks Kerry!

One of the perks of working from home is you get to play on company time. Now if I could just find time to do what actually pays the bills 8)

I'll play with the CAD a bit more later. of course, once I get a design I'll have no excuse to keep me from starting the project. :twisted:

O'tay, them thar wheels look a bit fur' back. I really like the design, but it looks a little nose heavy. The nice thing is, you don't have to please us. You just have to please you!

Thanks Greg,

After looking a bit closer, I agree. I'll have to do a touch up on that. I'm loving this CAD "thing", I may have to go back to school.
