i like the last one it looks kinda like a mustang
Maybe, but looks more like a duck to me . . . anyway, here's one with a breathing tube . . . haven't done the back end yet . . . I have so many ideas inside my head - I use paper to scratch them out . . . wish there were 100 hours in each day . . . it's frustrating to have to do other things like cut grass, clean basement, blah, blah, blah . . . still having fun - hope you are too . . .

. . . hey, I'm on vacation, so I'm supposed to be having fun - right . . .

As I begin to learn this software, I begin to realize how fun it can be, how it allows me to quickly jot down ideas and develop them easily. I find myself designing rather than trying to figure out how to define geometry.
Not that I'm very good at it, but I can see a little improvement from the beginning of this (rather lengthy) thread.
Happy Sketching,
Brad

Nice, i especially like that last one.
reminds me of this:
-
Thanks remus - I love that Lamborghini - is it art or car? Who cares, gorgeous, eh?
These three images show how I'm playing around with some quick shapes on front & so forth . . . originally, I wanted to tie the front and rear together with a similar, "rough chisel" theme . . . didn't work out very well but I enjoyed the attempt . . . on to the next one . . .
Happy Sketching,

. . . where would we be without our trucks . . . scary thought . . .
-
. . . one could call this a "chiseling" technique (quite different from the way geometry is defined and edited using the video tutorials I posted a couple months ago) . . . this technique is very fast and easily provides extreme "what if" exploration of shapes, proportions, blah, blah, blah . . .
-
. . . hope you guys are enjoying Base Camp . . . I hope to be there next year . . .
-
. . . added a snout . . . oink-oink . . .
-
. . . a little more detail on the sides - I need to go back and fix this - too sharp around the edges . . . what a cheesy background . . .
-
. . . minor side scoop detail . . .
-
nice u might want to add some of that on the front and back too

. . . tossed on some headlights . . .

. . . I just had to try something different . . . which illustrates clearly that different does not always equal aesthetically pleasing . . .

he he that looks like that chevy truck thats almost always seen in yellow i don't know its name but it kinda looks like a fish
This one -->

The guys at GM should remove their blindfolds before approving a design. What were they thinking? Didn't finish rehab?
-
Personally i think the entire concept of a convertible truck is pretty flawed
They should produce more of your designs brad 
-
Thank you Remus.
In my opinion, a good, complete design involves being able to see the car from any angle while still maintaining visual interest. At best, I usually only get halfway there . . . okay, maybe only 25% . . . but, I'm all about having fun, which is why I continue . . .
Happy Sketching,

I love to hear that people are having fun with SketchUp! I look at it the same way!! If you can't make something fun, why do it?
That's why SketchUp was designed the way it is!Cheers Brad!!

I guess it's like when you go fishing - sometimes you get a fish, other times you're just out there, enjoying nature. This one is no catch . . . someone should write a ruby script that allows you to pick an icon that looks like a demolition switch - when selected, you see your model destroyed while hearing the sound of broken glass . . . I'd use that option for this model if it was available . . . (ha) . . .
Happy Sketching,
Brad
