I decided on this challenge to create a virtual replica of the Moisture Vaporators seen on the Lars family moisture farm in Star Wars. I normally create something completely unique so perhaps this time I took a short cut by modeling something real. Okay, not so much real because it’s only a prop. And if …

Google SketchUp 3D Challenge #079 – Cordless Phone
My entry to this weeks challenge was inspired by the design of the Phillips ID555 Slimline cordless phone. I chose to model a slimline one because they are the latest in cutting edge technology. This one is just 7/16″ thick and not much bigger than the typical TV remote but not too uncomfortably small to …

Google SketchUp 3D Challenge #077 – Camera
This challenge was fun for me. I decided to model/design a camera setup that would be suitable for me to use from my wheelchair. I came up with a robotic camera mount that would fit any standard camera with a tripod socket that would allow for 360 degree hands free aiming. I added in the …

Poor Neglected Blog
I completely forgot to post my last SketchUp Challenge entry to my blog! I will do that next. In the meantime, here are some updates: I kind of fell off the apple cart when modeling challenge #075 which was an RV. I got most of the outer shell finished but ran out of time to …

Roadster Golf Cart
I have finally finished working on my golf cart from Google SketchUp 3D Challenge #070. Originally I titled it “Custom Electric Club Car” but once I decided to finish it, it turned into a roadster. I left the frame the same except for pushing the rear wheels outward by a few inches and moving the …

Google SketchUp 3D Challenge #072 – Museum
Here’s my entry for this two-week challenge: JediCharles’ SketchUp Museum . This is the most complex challenge entry I have ever modeled. In addition to it’s complexity, I was able to get it completed relatively quickly meaning several days before the deadline. I designed the museum to showcase every challenge I have entered so far, …

Google SketchUp 3D Challenge #070 – Golf Cart
This challenge was a lot of fun. My entry is entitled Custom Electric Club Car. The cart is based on a mid 1980′s Club Car golf cart because I was able to find photos of an actual frame off restoration of one to use as a reference. The body is a custom design I created …

Google SketchUp 3D Challenge #069 – Toothpaste and Brush
Toothpaste and brush… Sounds boring, eh? It did to me from the beginning but as I continued to model my entry I realized it was more complex than it seemed. I had to figure out the right technique to accomplish modeling a few items we all take for granted everyday. The toothpaste tube was fairly …

Google Sketchup 3D Challenge #066 – Library
When I first read that the challenge was to model a library I thought “boring!” and said to myself I was skipping this one. Then I thought maybe I could do the Jedi Archive but it would be way too complex to do in 1 week. But, later as I was in bed, I starting …

This week I suggested us doing a freestyle model for the challenge meaning we could model anything we wanted to. I decided on modeling Darth Vader’s Lightsaber from Empire Strikes Back.
