Re: pre modeling my rig

local custom paint shop would be my first step. They would probably make you a rendering for free if not at least less than what the software would cost.
I want to say house of kolor has a nice program.
you could even go to the photoshop part of the board and see if someone can get you pointed in the right direction.

Re: pre modeling my rig

What kind of modeling are you talking about?
Do you just want a static two dimensional rendering of what it could look like, or are you wanting to make a full 3D representation? If you just want a drawing, I suggest some Prismacolors and experimentation. If you want free software for photo manipulation and painting, then The GIMP might be for you. If you want a steep learning curve then welcome to the world of 3D modeling.
