Woooo, looks really nice!

Thanks Rogue - I doubt I'll ever achieve your level of detail, your ability to create stuff with great accuracy and impressive creativity.
In contrast, my skill set seems limited, not very professional. But, I'll be the first to admit I'm still having lots of fun and I really enjoy my primitive, almost cartoon-like simple creations. I'm just trying to enjoy life - not taking things too seriously.
I don't know where this one came from . . . it's a fitting Halloween car because it's scary ugly.
Happy Sketching,
Brad

Thanks Brad. You say your models are "almost cartoon-like simple creations" but thats what SketchUp was really designed for. I quite admire your models as I have never been able to create anything quite like them. I think the uniqueness makes your models that much better. Although SU is designed for quick or "simple" models it does have a lot more power than people think. It has many functions that other 3D modeling software doesnt have and itis a lot easyer to learn than any other I have come accross. I think thats why they call it SketchUp.
Keep up the great SU models

Can anyone help me or does anyone want to tackle doing this?
I would like to make a SU of my scooter. It looks like the one below.

I reckon the first thing to do is see if you can find any blueprints of it on the internet, its a bit of a long shot but it would help a lot with the modelling.
After youve done that, just get stuck in. Its probably best to start with the major elements (like the frame, major panels etc.) and then add in the details. Easy really

Here's a WIP . . . nothing fancy, just trying to get back into the swing of things - will redo the front end & roof later . . . argh . . .

Thank you for the nice comments - that's very motivational!
I sometimes procrastinate but one of my favorite techniques is called the "procrastination dash" - I use a timer to work like crazy, 20 or 30 minutes, then I get to spend 5 minutes drawing, what else . . . here's another quicky concept sketch . . .
