  Paint.net is free and has a ton of plugins available via forum threads. There's also plenty of YT videos available with lots of helpful tips and tricks. 

  It's pretty easy to use from the off and the correct plugin will allow multiple file types to be manipulated/edited - including PSD (Photoshop).

  Download/info from here.

   

  This one - less the lettering and white background -  is one I did many, many years ago using the above.

  You really can't overlook Blender (it's free) for creative work. Admittedly it's a hell of a learning curve if you have never done any 3D work before, but if you put the time in to learn, it's very rewarding.

  I can't make much yet without having my hand held every step of the way with a tutorial, but even then, the results are amazing and you can take a snapshot of your creations from any angle...

  

  I know trophy cabinets don't normally float in midair, but I got a bit lost at this point, so I thought I'd better take a pic just in case it disappeared altogether, lol. : ))

  EDIT : One thing I forgot to mention about 3D software is that you can print out this stuff into real objects.

  Thanks to Chris from Stream Scholar for the tutorial.

  Actually, I came upon the "wiger meter" in a screen shot of a member who had it. I came upon the screen shot in my attempts to find all the Pinehurst easter eggs. I was given alot of 411 on egg hunting, most from a link from Scott's unbelievable profile page. I think the screen shot come from a member of Yancy's original crew when they were first looking for the eggs.

  Yes, I have both pals. It appeared to me that your meter was more detailed in the percantages but, if you think the pals are just as good, or better, I will stick to the pals..

  In any event, the wiger meter is pretty dang awesome!!.
