Most impressive SketchUp modelling

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

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.
