This week's challenge:

Space Docking Harbor

This weeks challenge is back to a space/sci-fi theme. You are to model a docking harbor for space crafts and units that wish to "park" their vessels. There is no limit to the size or capacity of the harbor, we only ask you that it will allow at least one vessel to dock at a port on in your harbor. Anything and everything else is left up to the designer.

Good luck and have fun!

This week's challenge:

Your own Computer rig

This is the 50th challenge so we have something special for the occasion.
This time you have to model your own complete computer rig, the one you use to model with Sketchup. You can add all the hardware connected to your Computer but keep in mind not to model the whole room.
You could try to focus on details and low filesize, working with components as much as possible.
Textures will be accepted but should be turned off during judging. Model must be realistic, not a fantasy creation.

And last but not least... this time, for the special occasion, you have 2 weeks to crate your own model.

Have fun!

The portable DVD player is one of those gadgets that many people have come to love. It provides an enjoyable experience to viewers who may be on a trip somewhere, in a waiting area or on a plane. Portable DVD players are typically quite small and compact with screen sizes ranging anywhere from 4" to 10" and can have many different configurations of speakers and disc trays. You may model any type of brand or company's player, or create one from inspiration.

Have fun with this one!
