The Complete Toolkit

I'm savvy with computers and design programs for my other hobbies.

I purchased the complete Modeler's Toolkit and have been using it for the past few weeks. I'm getting ready to scenic one of our clubs 2x4 modules and excited about paper/cardstock buildings.

I like the variety of support programs and how they all work pretty well with the toolkit. The program itself is intuitive, and I've only had to go to the manual a couple of times.

I am a little disappointed because I can't rotate an image in the builder program and I'm not sure about the other programs. I checked the manual and doing a search I can't find any mention of that.

I'm modeling this module in the modern era but the vast majority of the signs in the Advertiser program are very dated (I like IKE?). Nothing too modern at all. Also, in that same program, I've tried to copy a simple Coke Cola sign and paste it using Windows, but it won't work. That specific program also does not allow me to import it either. It may have something to do with copyright, and I understand that, but I don't think the Coke Cola company is going to complain about a HO size image on one of my module’s buildings.

Given all these comments, I really do like the program and the add-ons I purchased. I will probably figure out some work arounds to the advertising sign issue.

I would recommend this program if someone asked my opinion.

This software is a marvel! I have just started playing with it and have made 3 items with it so far. Selecting material for structures is easy with a huge variety plus the ability to add to the program if you want (I have not tried this yet). There are patterns and buildings online to use and you can easily make your own structures as well. The structures I have made have come close to paying for the software already (awesome), and I believe this will save me hundreds in the future. The best thing is, I can create and build structures that are not kitted at all so I have unlimited freedom of design. I feel this is a tremendous bargain for anyone building a miniature world. What a treat!

The print out looks good but it will not do a full 8 by 14 cardstock print the largest it wil;l do is 8.3 by10.8. I have tried reseting everything in the program and on the printer and still no luck. So i would recommend only using 8.5 by 11 cardstock. It also takes a little learning on how to use it so be prepared it is not a easy plug and print .design.

Adding signs, windows, walls to your modeling adds a personal touch that you can't always get for the model itself. I am new to these items so the learning curve seems to be a little steep, but the effort and the rewards will be worth it.

Excellent product. I'm looking forward to using it.
