I see you made israely Merkava tank.
Looks good

>> Thanks for your comment, Karl.

**Here's a combat droid. I did some before but they were smaller and less detailed. I really had fun working on this one. I will try to do some more when I have time.

Have a great day!

Hi everyone,

I hope you had a good weekend.

Here are some older renders I did using one of the droids I posted in this thread a while ago.

Sketchup + Lumion3D + Photoshop.

Have a great week!

Well that doesn't look like anything I've seen done in Lumion as yet! It's so pretty for scene of destruction! Thanks for posting Ken. I think we may be benefiting to see works from your free time. I hope you get hooked up soon though, if not already.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for you kind words.

Yeah, it's nice to have free time to work on personal stuff. However, I still need to pay the bills and support the family.

I had a couple of interviews with some game companies, but they decided to pursue other candidates. A recruiter, friend of mine who worked in the same company some years ago, just emailed me today. He actually has a job opening that he want to talk to me about. We'll see how things go.

Have a great day!

Hi there,

Here are some more personal projects. Submarine concepts.

I really had fun working on the Sci-Fi/Steampunk submarine.

Have a great day!

Hey, my old '56 Sunliner is seeing some action
Did it survive the attack?

Your work is fantastic, very imaginative, and very detailed (and I like details)

Bryan K

Absolutely incredible work Ken.

There are some amazing and talented people who post here. You all keep me inspired and constantly working to improve.

@ Steve M.: did you mean you have a real '56 Sunliner car, or did you build that model? When I don't have time or not so interested in modeling certain models, I downloaded some from the warehouse like that Sunliner.
Anyway, thanks for your comments. Glad you like my work. Yes, I love details.

@ Bryan K: Thanks for your kind comment. I am happy that I am an inspiration for other Sketchup artists out there. One of the secrets of being a better modeler is practice, practice and practice. Pratice makes perfect as they say.

Hey everyone,

I hope you had a great weekend.

Here are some more vehicles. As usual, Sketchup + VrayfS + Photoshop.

Have a terrific week!

Yeah, that was a model I put on the Warehouse. It's no longer there, but I'm glad to see it getting some use.

Thanks, Steve. Your model was very useful.

Hi everyone,

I hope you had a great weekend.

Here are some concepts for some space fighters. The first one was part of the vehicles from my personal project that I worked on during the winter break. Sketchup + VrayFS + Photoshop

The 4 sketches were done in late 2011. There were line sketches on top of Sketchup models.

Have a wonderful week!

Hi Eric. Thanks for your kind comment. Much appreciated.

I know that both of my Sci-fi and Fantasy threads are some of the most viewed on Sketchucation. However, I don't get many replies. Not that I expect people to reply, but sometimes it is nice to see you guys are interested in my work by posting comments, feedback or questions. Don't worry, I won't bite.

Anyway, back to the Sketchup models. I have posted sci-fi and contemporary military vehicles, submarines, tanks, spaceship, droids,helicopters. How about some airplanes?

So here's a couple of them.

Good day to you all,

_KN
