Model Builder pics

OK, I promised I would post some pics from the Model Builder software discussed in a previous thread http://www.modeltrainsoftware.com/model-builder.html I just got the software today, and I have not had time to do anything complex like a building or house, but here are two pics of a European style cobblestone street section. This was printed out in 1:32 scale, and the 1:32 Sherman tank and Jeep were placed on the street to give you an idea of what vehicles would look like on a surface like this in a diorama etc. I think the look and detail is really oustanding, and I'm very excited about putting together some structures with this software in the near future. The flash tends to "wash out" some of the detail, but if I can figure out how to disable the flash on my camera and take some pics in subdued lighting you'll be amazed at the detail. BTW, this was printed out on a cheapo $35 HP inkjet printer I got on sale at WM, not bad if I do say so.

Hope you guys like the pics.

Looks good to me.

(Taking pics outside helps eliminate the flash problem.)

Looks really cool!
Could you post some 1/18 vehicles and figures to see the scale comparison....please.

OK, this is all have time for at the moment, but here ya go... The surface on the left is the same street section printed in 1:18, the section on the right is the 1:32 scale shown previously. The XD figure holding the Teller mines is a Dragon Action 18 Waffen SS Grenadier from the Arnhem 44 set, and the shells are from the XD camo Pak 40 gun. One thing I should mention: this pattern is actually referred to as "brick" in the software, not cobblestone, but I think it approximates some types of cobblestone reasonably well. There are about 20 different styles of brick/stone availabe in the program. Click the thumbs to enlarge...
