Next model is up
The US Army Combat Action Badge is up and ready for download.
I wanted to note on this one that while there is a design for second, third, and fourth awards I did not model them because they have never been authorized. It can only be awarded to an individual once per conflict, and the current conflict it’s authorized for is the Global War on Terrorism.
New Model
The US Army Signal Corps emblem is complete and ready for download. This model does not include carvewright files yet but I will update this post when I have them online.
Next up is the Combat Action Badge.
New model
The newest model is uploaded and ready, the crest for the USS Constellation. Next up, signal corps flags and the combat action badge.
Medals part 2
Apparently no one cares but me. Only 42 views on military.com and not a single vote or reply. I consider this issue closed.
Medals
You may have noticed that there are no medals on my site. That’s intentional because people like this exist. However, I have received a request for a purple heart, and it strikes me that since I make models with the expectation that they’ll mostly be used for commemorative plaques I really ought to offer the medals too.
The problem is that I would be VERY VERY ANGRY to discover that a model I made had been used to help an imposter sell his story. I already think that it should be completely legal for any veteran to beat the hell out of any imposter.
I have posted a poll on military.com about this and would welcome opinions. Please don’t post a link to this site or even name it on military.com, this is not an advertising stunt. You can also of course weigh in here via comment. Thanks.
New model
I’ve uploaded my latest model, the crest for the USS Antietam. Next up, the crest for the USS Constellation.
Hosting change done.
My hosting change is complete (I hope.) Please let me know if you find any errors or broken links.
More on CarveWright
It turns out that the CW Designer doesn’t import STL files as it comes, it takes a $200 add on. So after some discussion with users on the CW forum I have come to an arrangement with a CW user to convert my files to the proprietary CW format. So far only the free sample has ptn files added to it, but I have a few more to be uploaded and I expect we’ll probably have them all done by the end of February. In the mean time, if you have bought a model and would like to have the ptn file for it email me at info@cncmilitaryemblems.com. If you want to buy one but need the ptn, just let me know and I’ll get that one done earlier.
I will add comments to this post as I update the files. Once all the existing models are updated I will update the file type list on my homepage.
Fallen Soldier Memorial and Carvewright Designer
I received a contact through the contact form a little while ago from a Carvewright Designer user trying to import the tiff file. Unfortunately the email address was invalid so I’m going to post the response here and hope he sees it.
According to this site, the carvewright designer imports stl models. There is an stl file in the zip and this is the method I'd recommend for loading this model. If for some reason you need to use a grayscale bitmap then the tiff is a much higher resolution bitmap than a bmp file, that's why I use it. If bmp is your only choice then you can load the tiff up in microsoft paint or any other image editor like gimp and just save as bmp, then load it into designer. If you do stick with tiff or bmp you will need to increase the z height of the model since bitmap formats flatten models. You will also need to re-smooth it. I include the tiff as a last resort if you can't import any of the others. If you can use the stl you will have much better results. Good luck.
