Anyway, I have been experimenting with blender. I have made the pieces to my model, and they all went somoothly. Now i'm on to coloring.
My first problem that I encountered was that my pieces acted like they were linked. I discovered that this was due to the fact that they were edited duplicates of a part. I went into edit mode, selected, and pressed "P" and pressed "selected." This effectively unlinked them. This problem was solved.
So now, i'm ready to color... but it will only color my original object, even when the other objects are selected, it will only name and color my original. Can someone please point me in the right direction to fixing this? Thank you. If you need me to elaborate, please say so.
