I've always been particularly proud of this one.
Woooow
Isn't that... cute ?! 
Great space ship there... If my name would be Ridley Scott I would make an Alien 5 scenario and buy that space ship for the film CG

Ken comes in and flops it out on the table and says what do you think about that. His model that is.
Thank you for your comment, Kristoff.

And we all step back and look down in shame!!!Amazing Ken!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, Richard, but there is nothing to be ashamed of. There are so many talented artists and architects in this forum and I always enjoy seeing their works. Even though I have been using Sketchup almost every day for the last 12-13 years, I always learn something new by looking at sketchup models that people post in this forum, whether they are experts or beginners.

How long did that spaceship take you? I can hardly imagine the patience it must take to do such detail...
Thanks for your interest, Kevin. It took me 3 weeks, working a few hours each night. If you want to see the WIP of the starship, please visit my "sci-fi" thread: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=27030&start=30

Thanks for your kind comment, Nicholas. Yeah, that would be my dream job, to work for the movie industry someday.
Have a great weekend!

Not all my own work, I just customized the model provided for a 'Render this' challenge a while ago. The original model belongs to Tadema,(thanks and hope you don't mind John) but so far its the best render I have come up with on my tired old PC at home. Plenty of things still wrong with it but I like it

I haven't been able to top this one yet.

Not sure if it's my best, but it was definitely the most fun! The Hannibal 8 from the 1964 movie "The Great Race", starring Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and Natalie Wood.

The detail on that one is amazing

Thanks Kevin. I must confess that everything in the fourth shot is purely from my imagination. There were absolutely no photos available of that area, just a vague reference that the rear wheels were chain driven and the scissor lift, steering and brakes were all powered by hydraulic motors that were powered by a VW engine that rose with the body. I have no knowledge of hydraulics and such, so I just had fun with it.
And it had absolutely no suspension, which must have been fun considering some of the roads this thing went tearing down in the movie

very nice keyboard model...the top edges of the keys though could use just a little bit of bevelling for the bit of extra realism in my opinion
apple? bevels? nonsense..
they don't mind producing completely hard edged aluminum things either.. -
hmm.. i think my 'best works' aren't necessarily in particularly pretty model formats.. a couple of models that might look ok for the thread though..

as in.. they generally look like crap and are probably confusing to others..
lot's of good info in there though..

Incredible work, Jeff. Very complex shapes, nicely done

they don't mind producing completely hard edged aluminum things either..reread my comment then looked (closely) at the mp and realized the sharp edged have actually worn&torn a bit over the years.. i now have beveled edges
(this thing is 6yrs old).. (maybe zoom in some to see beveled effect)got the coffee and dust realism though!

I like this one.
Is this a real thing or just for fun?

A very old one (9 years) but I love it!
It's a pity that don't exist for chocolate!

With what I've seen I really shouldn't post this.

Is this a real thing or just for fun?that is a real thing.. or, hopefully it is a real thing one day
i'm a horrible salesman though but i design all of these in a mindset of using true dimensions/materials/my carpentry skills..(but the one you pinpointed, that does need to go through an engineer first just to check some stuff.. as i have it now, there are no mechanical/fasteners of the joints.. it's all interlocking (big dovetails) and can be relatively easy to setup/takedown/move somewhere else.
