Great work Redss !
I can't see any easy way to put numbers.

When I have a lot of numbers to add (on patent illustrations), I use Pages or Photoshop (I know perspective won't be good in your case though...).

Sorry this doesn't help much...

Very nice models. I don't know what process you went through to make them but in VC6 I can create a solid from a text object. There several ways to do this:

1. Simply use the Thicken tool to create a solid
2. Change the text object to Lines with the Change Object Type dialog and then Extrude the resulting outline. Note that for letters that have negative spaces (the spaces within the loops, 4, 6, 8, 9, 0) you will have to extrude the inner outines first, then the outer outline and then subtract the inner solid(s) fron the outer solid.

Once you have the solid character at an appropriate thickness, you could embed the solid into your ruler then subtract it out, leaving an 'engraved' impression.
