[WIP] Skateboard
-
wow.. nice!
definitely the best looking sketchup skateboard model i've ever seen..
not to mention the protec which is looking sweet too.
-
the trucks though.. those are looking very good.. and they're probably the hardest things to get right..

-
That's pretty incredible David
-
Modelling looks great -- but scratches and wear on the trucks and deck wouldn't hurt.
Great job! -
In love with the polystyrene texture on the inside of the helmet, good work - is that custom or stock?
Cheers
Liam

Well done David.

Thanks guys
@Jeff Hammond - Nice to see you pick up on the detailing of the trucks: most people simply wouldn't notice. The trucks weren't that hard really, but it helps when you've got something in front of you to model from. The only issue I had was figuring out how to use Artisan to create simple beveled edges on the base plate. Also they started out as Venture trucks but somehow turned into Thunder's
.@dsarchs - You're right. There are already scratches on the trucks, but the texture I've used needs changing. I was going to leave the deck in factory condition, but a few scrapes will help. I'll probably swap the graphics out for a real-world design as well.
@liam887 - The polystyrene is a custom texture/material based on a stock image. I could really do with a better base image, but I don't have any of the right material to hand.

Very very nice.

For simple bevels, I use BZ Roundedge.
Great model!

Thanks Marian and Bryan.
The first thing I tried with the truck base was RoundCorner, but it didn't work very well with that shape.
