Enigma Measurements
One of the first things you need if you decide you want to 3D model anything is relatively accurate measurements. If you want to 3D model something with gears, interlocking parts, that functions – you need very specific measurements. So a few years ago, when I started Enigma research, I found the site Enigma-Replica.com. They…
