SketchUp 3D Challenge #262: Helmets

Challenge Period: Monday, 24 April 2017 - Sunday, 7 May 2017

Helmet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 
A helmet is a form of protective gear worn to protect the head from injuries. More specifically, a helmet aids the skull in protecting the human brain. Ceremonial or symbolic helmets (e.g. UK policeman's helmet) without protective function are sometimes used. The oldest known use of helmets was by Assyrian soldiers in 900 BC, who wore thick leather or bronze helmets to protect the head from blunt object and sword blows and arrow strikes in combat. Soldiers still wear helmets, now often made from lightweight plastic materials
In civilian life, helmets are used for recreational activities and sports (e.g. jockeys in horse racing, American football, ice hockey, cricket, baseball, camogie, hurling and rock climbing); dangerous work activities (e.g. construction, mining, riot police); and transportation (e.g. Motorcycle helmets and bicycle helmets). Since the 1990s, most helmets are made from resin or plastic, which may be reinforced with fibers such as aramids.
For the purposes of this challenge, you may model any known type of helmet from any era you choose.

SketchUp 3D Challenge #261: Chandeliers

Challenge Period: Monday, 10 April 2017 - Sunday, 23 April 2017

Chandelier

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 
A chandelier /ˌʃæn.dəlˈɪər/ is a decorative ceiling-mounted light fixture, a distinct type of pendant light. Chandeliers are often ornate, and normally use incandescent light bulbs, though some modern designs also use fluorescent lamps or even LEDs. Crystal chandeliers have more or less complex arrays of crystal prisms to illuminate a room with refracted light. Chandeliers are often located in hallways, living rooms, dining rooms, and recently in bathrooms and bedrooms.
For the purposes of this challenge, you may model a chandelier of any design and light-source you choose as long as it fits the description above.
