      Thanks for all the nice comments! I have used the book to present to elementary school kids about how engineers design bridges.

      Sketchup is fantastic and coupled with Thea, you can do amazing things! I'm trying to make a second book about truss bridges, hopefully one with a better storyline..

      (I'm using the names of our cats Eddie, Rose, Pete and our dogs Emma and Betty in the next book.)

      Thanks again!

          Thanks Bryan! Your Grumman is cool!

          This is another image that will end up in my second book. I have to photoshop some things but it is coming along.

            Wow! That's some damn good work. As a kid, I would have gone nuts over a book like this!

            Oh! I just clicked on your blog/website. Lots of cool stuff there!

                  I showed the book to my nieces this weekend, and they really enjoyed it. Of course they couldn't stop laughing at the word a-BUTT-ment...6 and 8 year olds, haha.

                    I'm really glad to hear your nieces liked it, d12dozr!

                    I have been reading some of the stuff on Sketchucation about 3D printing, now I think I need a 3D NieKo robot action figure!

                    Thanks again!

                        Thanks for all the great help, I do want to make an action figure!

                        On another note, does anybody know a publisher who likes odd bridge heavy robot books...?

                        Thanks!
