      I agree with Rich. Even your sequence images are top notch. How to do that with such quality would be an education for me.

      I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

            Really great work!

            It looks like you made the most common mistake by beginners with SketchUp who eventually render their scenes.
            You need to increase the segments used for circles to 48 (minimum) because the segmented circles are obvious in renderings. SU default is 12 segments per arc/circle.

              You mean the ears, right? As I said, this is my very first work on Sketchup, and by that time, I didnt know that the segments of the arcs could be changed. But luckily, only the ears take this mistake

              Btw, let me show you guys some of my new stuffs in Sketchup ๐Ÿ˜Ž

                  This is cool. I wish i could do this even not knowing about the circle setting. Excellent work!
                  Can you show us how you made just one piece?

                      the first model I used Subdivided%Smooth so the technique wasnt completed, there were still some problems. But the result was quite satisfied.

                          Superb work. The beetle is particularly fantastic. I have the pains of jealousy running through my veins ๐Ÿ˜„

                            Love the helmet! I did one a while back. I had some good references for blueprints if I did them up are you interested? My model was not as clean as yours I only used a basic shape and then spent Christmas Holidays painting it with my tablet in Photoshop.

                            I lost the model in a western digital hard drive failure however last month I tore up the old case and removed the drive and am going to attempt to fix it by putting it in the freezer for 24 hours apparently that gives you 10 mins of up time?

                              You make it sound easy, but I still don't understand what happens between having the blueprints placed and then the model almost done in the next step 0_0

                              I'm amazed and puzzled. Really, how do you do that?
                              Let's say in the helmet, that looks easier than the beetle.
                              You start outlining the side view and extrude it?
                              And then... what? outline the front view and... hmmm there's where I'm lost

                              I forgot to say
                              GORGEOUS!

                                Tks for your interest!
                                Actually the Beetle is much easier than the Helmet because it has been done after I got some "technique" about 3D modeling. Such a shame that I've lost the original file in a HDD failure, just like liam887. I couldnt blame the computer because it had been serving for over 5 year, too much for a pentium 4@2.0ghz pc. Even I had uploaded a backup on the internet, the file was corrupted too. You guys can have a look at this link: http://www.mediafire.com/?zqnzog0ggyd If anyone can recover this file for me, I'll be very appreciated!!!

                                And if you guys dont mind, I can do a little bit "tutorial" for this so you can easily imagine how it's done. I'm sure it would be quite easy. Just wait for 1-2 days.

                                btw, I notice that you guys didnt respond much about the Reventon. I think it's much better than the Beetle because I took me nearly two months modeling ๐Ÿ‘Š

                                    Really great work, but it looks as though I missed a step or two. kind of a big jump between. . .

                                    Step 1. . place images. ..

                                    Step 2. . .Make model. . . ๐Ÿ’š

                                    If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

                                      Silvershadow had a great step by step on his blackhawk model thread, I think he has a blog with more in detail images somewhere im sure you can find it on here/google.

                                        Thank a lot for introducing this site for me! I've been searching for a full blueprint of the suit in Google but the quality was very poor. Now I have the inspiration again to make the full model of the suit with SU. It's gonna be something ๐Ÿ˜
