  1. General Notes:
    There will no obligation for a blog entry anymore. It is still allowed to post a link to your model or additional images, but it is not required anymore to submit a model to the challenges. The 3D Warehouse tag is still required though and should be added when uploading a model to the Warehouse.

    You can use the hyperlink code creator on the frontpage of the blog to create the code for a hyperlink in your message. Copy this code and paste it in the comment box on the place where your want the hyperlink to be.

    Challenge suggestions are welcome to be placed on the blog. Items will be noted and compiled on the moderator’s list. At that point, the initial comment for the suggestion may be deleted so as to maintain a streamline challenge thread for use of posting entries for the challenge and comments to models. Challenge suggestions have always been welcomed and taken under consideration.

    Please refrain from using background images in your models as it is the model itself that is being judged.

    You'll notice a new link on the main page that directs you to the First Place Certificate area to which winners are able to print a certificate with a picture of their model detailing their excellence. You can access the page through the main page of the blog.

    Good Luck and have fun!!!

    My challenge entry is up and running. It depicts my playground... circa early 60's when I wasn't out in Scranton for summer with my Uncle Vinny and his FixIt shop. The city street. This street. One of many identical streets throughout the Five boroughs. The download consists of Five Sketchup Scenes and pulls back each time to give one a pretty good overall view.
    Hope you like.

    PS: Thnx for voting me Second with my Snorkelers Camera.

  15. @ Henkie Tenk;

    Daar heb ik ook aan zitten denken!
    Ik ben uiteindelijk voor dit idee gegaan omdat het wat meer variatie biedt! En zo kunnen mensen zelf ook weer een beetje spelen! ;)

  16. @ Dilbert™

    of course the slide was made with sketchup.

    ReplyDelete
  17. @ all

    Does anyone has a trick to make a slide a little more quickly? I made a spiral and then follewed it with a cirkle. Then you have a spiral tube. Not that difficult. But making the slide open like mine is a lot more time-consuming! I had to draw lines on the tube and then erase the upper half. I already tried it with a spiral and a half circle, but that doesn't work --> the slide will be upside down at the end.

    Anyone any suggestions?

  18. well here it is - not actually a normal playground but my imagination is not normal haha - this is ship 1 of many that will end up being the whole set - shown here with swimming pool for the diving plank effect - but will eventually have a pond with several ships of different types to complete the whole area - just didn't have time for all - also somehow i managed to acidentally load it into google earth and can't figure out how to get it out but working on it =)
    anyway hope you like it i had fun and still having fun

    I create separate folders for each project, a file name is not necessary for me. And I worked on its several days not at once, that would be crazy. haha :P

    Nice idea, and nice work. Some suggestions; some things have zero thickness, like the half-barrel and the windows in the back of the ship aren't fitting well.


    2: DesignsbyALX
    Good componentwork, but als a bit to much. The model looks very big and complex, but at the end, its al the same component. But nonetheless, it works out! Good job!

    1: Moboille
    Good chains, nice idea and nice model! Maybe using some brighter colors, may help it look more childish

    And the are more good models, but I haven't got any points left!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Oh and by the way designs by ALX the second entry was my wife =) we just haven't made another account yet - also we just got a new house and in the process of moving so not alot of time - hopefully we can do another challenge before we move because it might be a few weeks before we get to do another but we'll be back

    ReplyDelete
  29. @Dracoscove;
    Gdm, i wish i had a wife like that. Mine realy doesn't like Sketchup. :(
    And for the underground remark; I started on a B vesion with a bigger basement, but halfway through, i thought hey what the heck, let's leave it at my original entry! And next to this, i just hope that somepeople make their own versions, wich would proof to me it's a playable model!

    @LoganC;
    Where the H is that next challenge?! It's almost Friday!!!

  30. @ henkie tenk - thnx for my first vote =) and yes some things are kinda done in a crude manner - lol more than just what you pointed out but i spent so much time on the rest of it i kinda got in a hurry to try and finish - but i am doing a few more ships to go with it for a final product since it was so much fun and will change a few things to improve it
