Just had to add this to the Most Impressive Sketchup Modeling thread.

Wow...thanks, that made my day!!!!

Thanks for the nice comments!

Here's something that I've been working on for a LONG TIME, and I think I'm finally finished...

It's a 1970 Honda CT70 mini trail bike. I had one of these when I was young, and sure wish that I had never sold it!

They were produced from 1969 to 1981 and had a wheelbase of about 41 inches and a 4.5 hp engine with a top speed of about 40 mph...these bikes were meant to be used for recreational trail riding.

They had a 3 speed transmission with a centrifugal clutch - all you had to do was back off on the throttle and shift. Since there was no clutch, the left lever was actually a brake lever, which was a bit of a learning curve for someone not used to it (and fun to watch).

The first two images are Kerkythea renders, and the rest are SketchUp.

Oh man that is GREAT! You even put in the spiderwebs on the windshield!
I'm gonna go back and study this some more....really great model!

Do the "Monkeemobile" next!!!

I love it! The body shape is really cool, (I don't see any lumps!), and the wheels look great!

The only criticism I have is the red trim stripe...I would tone done the saturation of the color, it just seems too bright compared to the rest of the materials. Try it out and see what you think.

Really nice model!

In 1982, the production designs that were used to create the film’s future-noir look were collected in the Blade Runner Sketchbook, edited by David Scroggy. Now out of print, the book is still treasured by fans, and now a full copy is available to read online.

I get excited every time I see a new update on this topic...so cool!

I was wondering, not knowing anything about ships like this, why are the two cannons near the stern of the ship in their own separate room?

Looks great!

This is so impressive! Regarding the "in game" images, what game is this?

17....I like the darker wood against the white wall.

Here's a collection of some tweets that I've seen regarding our favorite program. Caution: Rated PG for strong language!

If you can't seem to paint anything, try checking View -> Face Styleand make sure it is set to "Shaded with Textures"
