Oh and funny V-Carve pro story. So my niece is in the US Army and I often make signs/mdoels for her like the fake artillery shells I’ve posted in the past. Anyway, VCarve has a large “clip art” library of 2d and 3D “clip art” (not sure 3D models are really clip-art?) so there is a pack you can optionally get called “military appreciation pack” which has lots of elements you would use for signs for folks in the military. I’m going through it to make sure it has useful artwork for my needs, and I check the Army artwork and I’m staring at the Army logo and the Marines logo, and they are just fundamentally wrong. The army logo is a weird lion (of note the army logo was someone grabbing a crap-ton of 18th century army still life crap and throwing it in a pile and painting that) and the marines I think everyone knows that logo of the earth with the anchor. So finally I realize while that pack is A military appreciation pack, it’s not OUR military! I then realized Vectric must be a British company, but luckily there is a US Military pack which had all the artwork I wanted… I ended up getting the US package (what is funny is around here there are plenty of government buildings with the lion on them, which we took from King George back in the revolution).
