This week's challenge:

Pinball Machine

From Wikipedia:"Pinball is a type of coin-operated arcade game where a player attempts to score points by manipulating one or more metal balls on a playfield inside a glass covered case called a pinball machine. The primary objective of the game is to score as many points as possible. Secondary objectives are to maximize the time spent playing (by earning extra balls and keeping the ball in play as long as possible) and to earn free games (known as replays)".

You may model an existing Pinball Machine or try to create your own. Keep in mind the basic rules of the machine: balls, bumpers and fun!

Good luck.

This week's challenge:

Helicopter

The Helicopter is a great engineering marvel. It looks like it shouldn't be able to fly but shows that it is a very versatile machine being able to hover on the spot, fly forward, backward, left and right. So for this weeks challenge we are going to show how versatile SketchUp is modeling the Helicopter. You may model an existing Helicopter or try to create your own. Keep in mind that your helicopter should have some sort of rotary system or spinning parts.

Good luck and have fun!

This week's challenge:

Snack Cart

For this challenge, it is going to be a little more "fun". We will be modeling a Snack Cart of any sort. If it is a cart, meaning that it is portable, and it has snacks on it, feel free to model it! As always, be create and have fun. Try to think of some Snack Cart needs like storage and utilities. Each type of cart is better suited toward a different type of snack and marketing so it is encouraged to try out some different types.

Have fun and don't eat all of your Snacks while modeling! Save some for the cart!

This week's challenge:

Transformer

For this weeks challenge, you are to model a transformer of any sort. The main idea of this challenge is that the model MUST be a transformer! So it must be able to change from one thing to another. You must also show the transformed model. It can be one from the famous television show, Transformers, or anything that you can dream up, and yes, that includes a Mech as long as it can change into something else.
It would be ideal if your model was divided into groups and components, and that the transformation could happen by just moving and rotating the groups/components.
Creativity is a key idea in this challenge, as is the construction and precision of the transformation.

Note: A transformer should transforms itself in a common thing like car, hi-fi, gps, etc, and not in another Mech!

Good luck to all, and have fun!!!
