Thanks.

Here's a cool 3D of one of the better replicas (if you have a pair of those cheap 3D glasses with the red and blue lens)

And here's one of the sillier replicas

So that saddle seat is pure texture? did you model it in high poly first to build that texture? Your model belongs in a museum...

[ely862me]

I was sure you will come out with something stunning as you always do !
You exceeded yourself with this one. One of your finest ! You are phenomenal with the textures ! Well done !

Nothing special on my part for the seat - just used this photo, massaged it a bit

Great modeling & texturing as usual.

I tip my hat and bow to greatness.

That's the truly mindblowing part, they aren't renders, pure Sketchup.

[hellnbak]

Your kind words are much appreciated.

But it ain't perfect.

[Rich O Brien]

@steve

in terms of direct sketchup output and presentation you have no peers

[Daniel]

This definitely belongs in the "Most Impressive SketchUp Modeling" topic.

[leedeetee]

So good. I doff my cap, throw a virtual high five and offer a cyber fist pump. Bravo, sir.

[Openspaces]

............. Such Talent!!!! Bravo.

[Bryan K]

Everything about it is amazing! Where did you find the engineering pictures and specs? The mechanical detail alone is stunning!

[Bryan K]

I could ask a hundred questions about this one, but the first one that comes to mind is how did you make the chamfers on the frame? I see the hidden geometry and I'm still stumped.

[jeff hammond]

excellent!

[Mike Amos]

My question is how do you get reflective finish in sketchup? There even appears to be a metal finish on metal parts. What kind alchemy is this Sir?

Please, please, I have to know. Gibber.........

WOW! (sorry for the short comment regarding to your post length )
