      Here's my 2cents: Is there any local building that is interesting in terms of architecture - possibly a historic building? You could try measuring and modeling that. Take a bunch of photos of the elevations and see how well you can model from it.

        I've done hospitals, downtown areas, and college campuses using only Bing Bird's Eye view and Google Earth, but not trying for extreme detail or accuracy. Just enough to keep in practice and improve decision making. Just an idea.

        I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

            would you like an architectural project (mine)?

            Or one of my interests is Native American structures. I want to model some more of this when I ever have time. I would model ruins in Mexico--ones that haven't been overly researched and I would do things like authentic plains indian tipi models. Anything like that or the historical buildings in your area, is surely well worthwhile.

                              I am high jacking this as I want to be challenged... like Really challenged ! Hit me !

                              As for Bryan, please model this in Sketchup, in 3D . The model must be at least 90% accurate, without the animation.

                                You have yet to do a piece of furniture, here is an easy one to start with.

                                Model this:

                                            When you've finished with that, scale it flat into an allegorical bas relief to put in the pediment of your historical building 😆
