      Yeah, talking about details, aren't these beautiful models really laggy? By the way, can you render your machines? (sorry if you already do this, and I can't remember from when i skimmed through all the pages).

      Have fun Modelling ๐Ÿ˜„ You should try something like those sci-fi magnet propelled monorail thingies! That'd be quite cool

        No pain, no gain ๐Ÿ˜‰ They're probably a little laggy, but I'm sure Dolphus uses components to maximize Sketchup performance

                Thanks Pilou looks as if the "air Train concept" could become challenging to model thanks for the "Ideas"
