Scifi Sketchup Modeling

I balieve that a good aproach would be to also add in some light beacons along the sides, some on the thrusters and a few on the two runways.

Dont worry they are already made although you cant see them as I have done no renders yet this is just raw sketchup output.

Awesome looking models Liam, these should be operational in RC scale?

It is possible If you configured the engines and balanced them correctly although would have to be equal power to all six, not sure how you would work it I suppose your the best person from all your RC boats although I am making a spitfire currently:

Some quick tests on the samson navy version, toying with the idea of getting rid of the landing skids and have a tricycle arrangement with retractable undercarriage similar to the sea king.

Just downloading THEA again, cant wait to get this bad boy rendering properly again on my i7 machine!!!

EDIT:

Ahh it only took 60 seconds and I had fallen back in Love with it. Its using all my processor power and burning through renders. My old mac book pro would have died after 4 passes!

Looking great Liam!

Cheers Eric. Now I have to get some cool lighting and materials in Thea to really show it off.

liam887 · 17 Jun 2011, 12:14

Did a little play in THEA, still need to work on the materials a lot!

Ha maybe, im going to Boulder in October so maybe round two if I can find that bar again!!
Red Bull beverage or Red bull aeroplane? Plane is coming along http://m.cmcdn.net/12645329/940x593.jpeg, but I have abstained form the drink as it just gives me false energy and annihilates any sort of sleeping pattern!

My new drink of the month is Stella Artois Cider which is stocked in the pub in work and is a low alcohol percent so I can drink more and still do some work if I have to!
