Maybe moderators should open a section Tin? ☀
The new art Su morphologic 😎

Fred, as these TIN models you have been posting are not tutorials I have moved them to the Component section.

Eric, That makes sense. Thanks for finding the right place for them. Fred

I'd say I left out a lot of the clasps etc Eric. Still it
might be fun to make a little movie of the table opening /
closing 😄

OK this one is more speedy 😄

Pilou,

Excellent! That makes perfect sense. Never occurred to me but certainly much quicker.

Pilou, yesterday I tried to make a spiraling TIN tube by cutting what a thought was a properly angled segment from the TIN tube and duplicating it. I couldn't get the pieces to match up perfectly so I gave up. Perhaps you might have some ideas how to accomplish?

Fred

thanks dear Fbartels . recently I am working on a new way for organic modeling . this is ( i guess) something new , and easier than geart SOLO method). i'll share it soon

Could come in handy, cheers dave.

Hmmm, but where. I still think they are really cool though. Keep it up dave.

I like 😄

This is really amazing.

Boofredlay - Thanks for that. It's not great but it gives me a great starting point. I am trying to build the 123 but my sketchup experience is limited to Architectural models where the sides and corners are usually flat or simple curves. This the first attempt at a complex, multi curved object. Not sure how it's going. I am trying to use the follow me tool but i can already tell it's not exactly right.

I need this for a retirment gift for my father in June (after 30+ years) from the Airforce. He's worked on 4 planes and I am trying to group together and have painted by a local artist. We've agreed a fee based on me providing the finished perspective. So, I am going to continue with this and hope it works out. If anyone has tips or is willing to help with a section (ie, the wings, nose, tail, ect.) please let me know. I have attached the file to date, plus the image I proveded the artist for his estimate (minus the 123 + background). The 123 will be the first plane in the line so it needs to be fairly nice - which makes my life more difficult.

Thanks for the help (if any) in advance. I'll try to post updates I a move along.

Thanks angusog, they will come in handy.

Mike

Thank you very much for the beautiful books. 😄

Mike has just posted one here: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=7275
You may be able to scale it to your needs (horizontal scaling would "stretch" it drawn/open I guess but you could also multiply it to be "longer").

Thanks Mike!

Very cool item! 😃

Hi Watkins,

Initially I just worked from overall dimensions, those indicated on the IKEA site under the particular model. However I have bought and put most of this furniture together so I might go back and double check to see how accurate I was.

On the other hand, as these models will (probably and definately my case) only be used for presentation / render I see no real need to have them spot on.

very nice for a concept... although around here those tires would be gone and replaced with tracks and i'd be referred to as a "track hoe"... plus a backhoe is usually a type of tractor with a bucket in the front and a hoe in the back.... hence "backhoe"

sorry, coming from a construction family i'm weird like that.

here is an example of a trackhoe - minus the bucket and a few cylinders:
