the curse of art walls

I am working on a secret project at the moment and its been going well but i have hit a lot of walls, most of them to do with tooling in the process of creating it.

Since it requires 3d modeling i have had to be learning that, and while i am happy with where i have gotten it, its not done to my standards yet. But unfortuntely i do not know the tools well enough to get it done!

I also have been struggling with the second part of the project, which involves more mechanical aspects of modeling. however my cad design software for whatever reason isn't turning the 3d model into a form that it can work with, making it impossible to do that part of it too!

i hope to figure it out soon, as it has a soft deadline, and while i could just print the 3d model, i want to execute the idea i have had in my head for this project, because i think it will result in a really fun and nice gift.
