A few comments -
Pseudo_7 - that's a lovely piece of modelling - well done! I agree with Steve that you try to stick with one material if you hope to get any
sort of qualitative data from a model.
Jermyn & Dale - any chance you guys could make your avatars a little smaller. I'm limited to 1280x1024 at both home and work at present, so
your 320 pixel wide avatars use 25% of the screen width! As the help files say, common courtesy is to keep avatar width to 150 or so.

yup, Pseudo_7 I'm impressed.
Has anyone rigged their models up with dial guages to make measurements - or is their a diferent way to do it ?

Dominic, Jon...thanks for the kudos! 
FWIW, I edited my original post, adding additional design information.
Pseudo7...similar, but not authentic!

AVATAR updated to a smaller image for everyone
Pseudo 7...Could you provide a .pdf of the scale plans you drew?

Jermyn:
Not sure how to go about making .pdf file from hardcopy dwgs...never done anything like that before  ...I've got a scanner however. Is it
just a scan and then define the electronic file as a .pdf?
Plan B would be just to make copies of my dwgs and just mail them to you the "old fashion" way!

I have a scanner at work. When I scan stuff in it automatically shows up as a PDF. If you scan it in, it may show up as a .dwg or .jpeg or bitmap.
Anyway is fine. I can open up just about anything. If you wan to convert it yourself there is a boatload of free software on download.com that will
convert just about anything into a .PDF

Get a copy of "Ghostview" (free GPL software) for you OS (available for most major OS ) this automatically installs
"Ghostscript" and acts as a front end for it. You must also install the printer driver for any PostScript printer such as an Hp
LaserJet IIIps.
Once installed print from any program to the the nonexistant postscript printer but "save as file" -- for example mydoc.ps, Then open
with Ghostview and convert to a pdf file eg mydoc.pdf.
