Do not copy this step. The geometry is wrong. Good example of how I mess up a lot before I get it right. Go further down. Final steps for main rough out. It's just fiddly detail add-ons after this. Well this was not as easy as I thought it would be. For some reason SketchUp was fighting me and many lines had to be redone several times. It also took time for me to figure out the curves.

BTW, I've uploaded the model to the 3D Warehouse. Search for it under Junji Okubo.

I'll come back to this at a later date. I've lost my motivation to finish it. Need to model something else to "shake it up" as it were.

And done. See main gallery for further notes. [image: cFWs_cyberpunkroomrender2.jpg]

@nlipovac said: Nice composition. Waiting for render. Thanks. It will be finished tomorrow.

Render is finished and posted in main gallery.

Nice work, would love to see this applied as skin to a building.

Changed seats. The anti-grav pods are the circular disks on the bottom. [image: noeI_antigravpertransport10.jpg]

Is your second HDD built in or is it networked or connected in some other possibly intermittent connection. The most common reason for corrupt files is saving your file to anywhere that isn't totally local, even a local folder that syncs to dropbox/one drive/network etc has the potential to kill your file. Basically a file can try to sync while it is trying to save, causes a clash and your file is effectively gone. So make sure you save locally and sync/backup manually.

@unigami said: Thanks! I'm happy to share it...I put a copy of the .skp in my public Dropbox folder. You can download it here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3842145/snow-trac_final.skp Hello, I just discovered this thread, very good work! I want to scratchbuild a 1:48 scale Snow-Trac model but can't find any good plan or blueprint, only bad drawings in original manuals Do you still have your original sources used for building this sketchup model? Or please could you share it again (your file is no longer available after 8 years...), it would be better for seeing all the details you put in it? Many thanks in advance, keep up the good work! Phil

Very cool try indeed!

... thanks to you Bryan! I love this "shoeboxy" cool truck and this story of making!

Looks like a good rendering. It isn't my model of the engine, though.must be one made by someone else.

Thanks Mike. The problem is I'm out of work again and facing serious problems. sigh This has not been a good year for me.

Thank you, I prefer it to the rabbit hutch I actually live in which I may model sometime.

Looking good!

Ta mate, might just be as small as I can go tbh.

Ta mate, I did finish this one off for a change.
