So, I'd like to go through and just block it out, in addition this will help us take a look at the reference images to make sure they're correct and in place. And although we may not use all of the objects in the final model, blocking out the basic shapes can kind of help us get going and ease ourselves into the project. You know how they say, beginning is half the battle? Well, this can kind of, if not, get us halfway there, at least get us going into the project. So, first of all, I think what I'll do is, take this box that we created, I'll just hit the Z key here. And let's give it a name, let's call this, Scale Template. And I'll just move this to a layer out of the way, maybe…
