The docking ports on my 210CR starship have bothered me since the day I modeled them because it was hard to make heads or tails out of the images of the Millennium Falcon’s docking ports that I could find at the time. The main problem is that nobody seems to know how they work and …

Now that I finished working on the basic shape of the hull and the sub-light engines it was time to design the Bridge Hull Section and the Observation Deck. The original idea for the front of the ship was to be rounded and to somewhat resemble the Tantive IV Corellian Corvette but after quite a …

In the last progress update I addressed the creation of the escape pods and the piece of the hull section corresponding to the pods. This time I am going over the modeling of hull behind the Escape Pod section and including the basic design of the sub-light engines. A lot of work on the model …

It’s been a while since I worked on my Untitled Capital Ship Project but after participating in a few challenges I have decided to resume working on it. One thing that has finally sunken in is that it is way too long and it is already starting to cause SketchUp to bog down. It was …

Before you get any ideas, this was not my idea for the challenge. A water-powered space aged grinder/kennel sounds like something only a madman would come up with but I assure you’, it wasn’t me!

Now that I finished the Star Wars blasters I was able to do a challenge and as a bonus I actually finished it in time! For my entry I chose to design a modern style outdoor gas grill that is similar to one featured on a Discovery Channel show I watched several years ago. What …
