      I'll post a few of mine. Although they are nothing SPECTACULAR, they are the best I'VE ever made, and I'm hoping my skills will keep improving.

      The first is what started off as just a single Pergola segment with a couple benches. But then I added curved corners and a flat roof in the middle and before you knew it I had turned it into a Gazebo as well. A Perzebo maybe?

      Then on a whim I took away the central roof and attached all the pergola beams together to make a vine trellised peak in the middle. And added plants to the flower boxes.

      The second is is a Gazebo I made to practice structure building. Then I added a swing to it.

          Hey, thanks Numbthumb, I feel honored to be included in this fantastic collection!
          I'm in the process of making some improvements/changes to the car (opening the doors, etc.), getting it ready for the Warehouse. Will post some pics in my WIP thread soon.

            From Kangal on smcars.net a car made almost entirely with soap skin and bubble. It's completely crazy.

              compressor (rendered in ArtLantis4)
              I recently started to use Sketchup over VectorWorks for 3D models and slowly am getting the hang of it.
              Due to the aid of the sketchup community and the discovery of some file plugin's.
              As a designer I would like the plugin's to be a bit more consistent what the GUI (graphic user interface) concernce.
              But anyway they work and that's also important.

              Here is an example of my latest work

                Yeah this is a great idea im fed up of people saying how awful sketchup is and not worthy to compete with the other software such as 3ds and maya I have this argument constantly on scifimeshes.com.

                I think Im going to make a page on my blog for the best of the best sketchup models feel free to link people to that page as it will be just images thet everybody can view!

                And of course ill credit each image with the creator etc

                http://liam887.wordpress.com/google-sketchup-hall-of-fame/

                And by the way silvershadows boat is Snowberry not blueberry haha

                I just came upon Liam's note way at the beginning of this thread so I thought I'd bump it because many people have probably missed his link-- worth a look.

                Thanks, Liam!

                      Very well done. 👍 👍 👍 👍

                      My only criticism is considering the high quality of the work in general, I would have used a much higher segment count for the wheels and fenders, to smooth out those curves. It looks like the default 24.
                      I would have used at least 48 or even 60+ just for those large circles.

                                        a 👍 👍 👍 for both of the last two (Tadema and Axeonalias)! Definitely two of the greatest examples! Peter
