Well done..
Thanks for sharing, hope to seemore..... -
Looks great, it surely would be fun to explore it in WalkAbout 3D or something like that.
Unfortunately, only the 3DWH version - without the interior - (but with John´s suggestion to change your avatar picture
) is compatible with SU7, which I am running, so that is impossible for me to do 
Nevertheless, great work indeed Are you planning on rendering it? -

I just created a version compatible with 7.0. I'll get that uploaded as soon as possible for you. As far as rendering goes, I think I need a little more practice before I can deliver anything decent. I've been tinkering with Kerkythea a lot lately and I am trying to get the hang of it. I will eventually get there.-Charles

Cheers!As promised, here is SU7 compatible file:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/1buf01ltf2iz2df/210CR-SU7.zipThe file size is a little bit smaller and I think that is because there are no scene thumbnails. It would be great if SketchUp was able to compress it's SKP files. That feature would be very useful because the data is highly compressible. When I zip up the original SU8 version there is a savings of 15MB.
I just started on the next ship. It's going to be bigger but hopefully it won't take as long. Before I started on this project, most of my creations were for the Google SketchUp 3D Challenge entries. If you want to take a look at what I've done see the link below:

Looks pretty good, I would beef up the landing gear tho it looks like a heavy ship for such small legs

You are absolutely right about the landing gear. I already decided to address that as part of a "refit" later on but for now we will have to pretend that the repulsorlifts are holding most of the load. The Lucrehulk-class Core Ships seen in Attack of the Clones were supposedly so massive that they used the same principle; their landing gear were only used to stabilize and anchor the ship. My idea is to replace them with legs that simply flip down and lock into place. That should hold.

Just a random thought - that landing gear has a very similar appearance to those of Eagle One that I have attempted to model some time ago.
Sorry for the OT

Sorry for the OT[attachment=0:3fatuy8x]<!-- ia0 -->footpad.jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:3fatuy8x]I don't consider this off topic at all.
Your design seems a lot stronger than mine.
I am working on a much bigger ship now (about 2.5x the length and 3 primary decks). It's going to need something even more substantial for it to land. This time it's going to have a landing bay with the capacity to hold a small but well-known freighter and a few star-fighters. I hope SketchUp can handle it. -
Thanks, but that is just a screenshot of a 3D model found on the internet.
My pathetic little model is here, if you´re interested: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=27402
