      Thanks for the positive comments. Bryan, what kind of a tutorial do you mean -- cars, wheels, or textures? Doesn't matter I guess, it would be difficult to make a tutorial when I don't know what I'm doing half the time πŸ˜†

          Well, there's an early version of the '56 Ford in the Warehouse, but frankly I'd wait till I upload the later version. As for the others, thinking about uploading the '57 Chevy, but it's not quite ready yet, and the others are just WIP, don't know when they'll be done. I've got so many going, I just keep bouncing around between them and starting new ones, I never seem to get one done (at least to my satisfaction).

            Couple shots of my 56 Chevy, just sorta pieced together for the photos -- bumpers from my 56 Ford, interior from my 57 Chevy, grill is not modeled, just a texture on a face, etc, etc. Still needs a lot of work, but I'm gonna take my time with this one, cause this, IMHO, is one of the finest hunks of steel Detroit ever turned out. I love this car.

                  Well, they will be, once I upload them. Just gotta do a few things to them first, some need lugnuts, center cap work, some texture tweaking, things like that. Actually I'll try to get to that tonight if I can.

                      Great work, especially this one (56). I took many a vacation (camping with the homemade rooftop carrier)in one. Ours was two tone, white and green. She got stolen, packed with all sorts of camping gear. My dad was heartbroken to say the least.

                      It would be fun to give him one for his 80th birthday.

                      Thanks for sharing

                        That's rough. Yeah, it would be great to replace it for your Dad, although the replacement cost of this particular car has gone up just a tad over the years πŸ˜†

                          I think I just found someone who doesn't really need a rendering application 😲
                          Can I sell those models, Steve? I need to upgrade my PC. Please let me know where and how to sell them too πŸ˜†

                            I don't think Steve spotted his model in the latest CatchUp.

                            Sssshhhhhh....don't tell him

                              Sure, go on and sell them. I hear Ebay is a pretty good place. Enjoy your new 'puter 😎

                                I am new to the group but maybe you can help me. We are currently working on an artist's colony in the Boston area and the centerpiece is going to be a 1958 Edsel convertible. It is going to be Steampunked out but I am looking for a "stock" model of one in Sketchup to play with. Do you have one or any idea where I can find one? Thanks in advance.

                                  Hi Mark
                                  Welcome to SketchUcation. You'll find a lot of great information here, and a lot of people willing to help you out any way they can.
                                  As far as the 58 Edsel, sorry, it's on my list of classics that I want to do, but I have not gotten around to doing anything with it yet. And there's nothing in the Warehouse either (of course if there was I wouldn't be interested in doing my own, don't see any point to duplicating someone else's work).
                                  Don't know where you could find one, I would suggest you Google it and maybe you can come up with something that might fit your needs.
                                  Have a good one
                                  Steve
