        @Dave-R I thought I forgot to take my 3D glasses off when looking at this last image. Fantastic πŸ‘

        P.S. I meant to say my X-ray glasses. The ones I bought from the ad in the back of my comic book. 😬

            Another little steam engine. The flywheel has a diameter of 80mm. Nothing but SketchUp.

              @Dave-R Very nice sir! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

              You said all SketchUp. Did you use any plugins? I wish I had the knowledge/skill to do something like this. I am not an artist or engineer and see many post from people like you and am very impressed. πŸ˜€

                    You said all SketchUp. Did you use any plugins?

                    Yes, I did use a few extensions. For this latest one TIG's Extrude Edges by Rails, Fredo6's Fredo Corner and Round Corner., and TIG's Tangent Tools, Eneroth Solid Tools, and Bool Tools2 is about all.

                    By saying "all SketchUp" I meant there was no external rendering done.

                    And thank you!

                          Here's another little one. It's about the same size as the previous one.

                              Worth keeping in one place so they can be found more easily, A bit like the defunct best of thread.

                              Being a bit like a big kid, I always want to see more.
