I’ll be posting the next update (possibly final update) for my starship project soon. But as of today it just occurred to me that I have been working on this model for over an entire year! I started on it on October 12, 2009 and it is still not finished. Of course, I continue to …

Starship Project Update 16
I had previously said in my last update that the next update would probably be the last starship project update but in reality there is still a lot to do. A lot of time has passed since update 15 and that is due to other SketchUp projects taking focus. The Infirmary and the Brig are …

Starship Project Update 15
In my last update I said that I was going to work on 4 things this time. Well, that didn’t happen but for good reason. I didn’t create Hyperdrive motivators because I found out that a Hyperdrive motivator is the same as a Hyperdrive generator and I already made the generator. I didn’t move the …

Starship Project Update 13
Drum roll… This time I have taken 38 snapshots for this update beating the last update’s record of 33. There would have been a lot more pictures to show except I kept neglecting to capture every change. Since the last update I have created the Escape Pods, the bunks for the Crew Quarters, the tables …

Starship Project
I decided to make “Small Starship” the topic of Challenge #002 for the SketchUp Design Challenge. So I figured I would make my own ship model. It’s likely going to be a blockade runner similar to the Tantive IV Corellian Corvette in Star Wars but of my own design. I’ve decided to make it modular …

Google SketchUp 3D Challenge #082 – Energy Saving Item
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 …

What’s on my DVR?
Star Wars Episodes 1-6 from SpikeTV HD broadcasts – Who could have guessed? 16 “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” episodes – Impressive… “Myth Busters” – It seems they’ve gone bananas this time… “Pitchmen” – Billy Mays here… …but wait, there’s more. “American Chopper” – SR and Paulie at it again… “Heroes” – “Nobody likes me, …

Updated Star Wars Section
I just updated the Star Wars section of my website by moving “My Collection” to a sub section and added an additional “My Wish List” sub-section for things I’m looking to add to my collection. On the wish list I added Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi: Outcast on Audiobook CD as well as a …

Star Wars Crawler
I decided it would be a challenge for me to recreate the Star Wars Ep.IV opening prologue crawler in Google SketchUp and I think I pulled it off. There is no music playback and the timing isn’t perfect (yet) but it looks very close to the real version. At first all I wanted to do …

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 …
