SketchUp 3D Challenge #258: Medieval Weapons

Challenge Period: Monday, 27 February 2017 - Sunday, 12 March 2017


Europe's Middle Ages lasted from the 5th to the 15th century and during that period the political boundaries were constantly changing. Along the way countless types of weapons were developed and refined reflecting the culture of those who wielded them.

For the purposes of this challenge, you may model any type of medieval weapons that would have been used in Europe during the age.

Tip: If you choose to model more than one weapon, consider incorporating them into just one entry so that they may be judged as a group.

SketchUp 3D Challenge #257: Rock Climbing Center

Challenge Period: Monday, 13 February 2017 - Sunday, 26 February 2017


Rock Climbing Centers are a great place to learn to climb or tp perfect your climbing skills in a safe and, at many times, indoor environment. Instead of the rock formations found in nature, climbers are challenged to ascend man-made walls with grips for hands and feet and simulated obstacles to overcome.

For the purposes of this challenge, you may design a rock climbing center to be indoors or outdoors (or even in combination) with the materials of your choice as long as the structure appears man-made.
