I've found the ref now for the searchlight itself. I'm on this now while giving my new Spacepilot Pro a try.

Hi clearairstudios,

I would also like to give this model a go, being just a hobbyist i feel it would be an excellent project.

Where did you get the image planes from and ref images?

cheers Mithandra

Nice man...Im with Dom though...I saw that a while back...looks bloody awkward LOL, let me know how it works out with it though! yeh I tried the tablet with Maya...it was wierd and I gave up BUT it was just as quick as the mouse when you got your head around it.

I have seen the space pilot in use by someone using Inventor guys and it works a lot better then you would think. It looked clumsy and awkward to me as well at first glance.

Just a note I have tried to use my wacom in place of the mouse on many occasions and I still cannot use it. Even in photoshop just the other day I was trying to draw over a screen grab and mark regions and I just gave up and drew lines with the mouse. Just drawing a freaking arrow head at the end of a line is a 5 minute exercise for me on the wacom! lol
