Sketchup 3D Challenge #127 - Memorial

Google Sketchup 3D Challenge presents Challenge #127:

Memorial


Sunday 10th of July, 2011 - Thursday 21st of July, 2011

Entry Models

______________________________
For this Challenge you'll need to create a memorial, your own design or existing. For an event that has actually happened, or something that may happen in the future (Nuclear war, Scifilicious?)! Maybe this can get you some inspiration: Sunday the 17th, the third Sunday of July, is national Ice Cream day! Maybe a memorial for Mrs. Mary Eales, the inventor of Ice Cream? Have fun!

The winner of previous 3D Challenge 126 - Waterpowered Space Grinder-Kennel combination is:


Jedi Charles, with The Dog Ground! It's great to see how everyone interpreted the subject in completely different ways, which gave us six beautiful creations! I bet, when it finally is the space age, and humans will be replaced by supersmart monkeys, they'll look back at these models and say: ,,Why would we need anything like that?"

We had so many suggestions last Challenge, that we've decided to combine some of them, to an all-new über-strange Challenge subject for #126. For this Challenge, you'll need to design a space-age Grinder, which also houses dogs, and is powered by water. Is that unexpected enough for y'all? Your head must be boiling with inspiration alread, so get modeling right away! But most importantly, have fun!

The winner of 3D Challenge #125 - Barbecues and Grills is:

GoldenSim with his Luxury BBQ! An awesome car-inspired retro design! It's an extremely manly barbecue, being a car and cooking meat at the same time! It's the dream of every guy, and I personally think it should be named the Carbecue. GoldenSim was also the winner of #116, #119, #121 and #122 which makes this his fifth 1st place! Great work!

It almost summertime and the weather is high, dust of your BBQ's and fry those porkchops! Everyone likes a good old fashioned barbecue! Design your own barbecue or grill, that will completely change the world of barbecues, or design a retro barbeque with some charbroiled hamburgers, it really doesn't matter. As long as it is somehow a device to prepare a great steak. Have fun!

The winner of previous 3D Challenge #124 - Dream Worlds is:


Bob Mayonnaise with his dream Polychromie des Rêves (a dream within a dream)! It has something of an air to it of the movie 'Inception' (maybe a source of inspiration, Bob?), but still it is absolutely the ultimate model of strangeness. And thank god for components, because drawing all of those 432,000 edges by hand would take a century! Congrats!

Ever had a dream you've remembered after waking up?
A strange dream world, where you recognise everything,
but when you start to think, ot all strangely was very
different from reality? If you have, be sure to enter this
Challenge! Don't have any inspiration yet? I guess a
little afternoon nap could do no harm...

Thank you, Goldensim and MDC, for this great subject!

The winner of previous 3D Challenge #123 - Anything is:


SCIFI LICIOUS, with his amazing model of Postapocalyptic Lincoln Monument! Crazy detail, and if you read the various signs, according to SCIFI LICIOUS, humanity can still have a laugh after the apocalypse! By the way, this is the forst model in 3D Challenge history to have taken 1st place with a wide screen image! Are we living the future?

'Anything?' you might think, and the answer is 'Yes, absolutely anything'. As there wasn't really one subject we could settle on, we've decided to go crazy, and have you all design something you choose! So GoldenSim, design that Flying boat! And HenkieTenk, build that Bridge! There is only one condition: you may NOT use any components already uploaded to the 3D Warehouse. But that shouldn't be that hard! (By the way, the image shown above doesn't make any sense, if you were wondering)

_________________
Requested by some of you, the subject for this challenge is 'Abandoned Places'. The image above shows one of three Soong Sisters Houses, in the center of Singapore, mysteriously abandoned in the 1980s. The estimated value of the complex is 465 milion USD. Nobody knows who owns them, how old they are, who lived there, etcetera. The houses are said to be haunted, and every day tourists come to visit the ruins. They are surrounded by tall condominium towers, in one of the most developed areas of the city. The challenge in this Challenge, is to try to make your model mysterious; the viewer should be wondering where it is located, why it is abandoned.
Good luck!

Sewing machines are fun! Why? Well, why not?
Sewing machines are little strangely-shaped boxes
filled with pleasure! Thread goes in, and clothes
come out! Try do design your own special Sewing
Machine, and it might come in handy when you
try to sow the sweater from #121 in reallife. Thank
you Goldensim for this great idea!

What does everyone use in the office? The simple under-appreciated Stapler. What would we do without this incredible object? Model the fanciest stapler you've ever seen or dreamed of (assuming that your dreams are about stapler). You can even make a stapleless stapler, invented in 1910. So thank you, Louis XV, for whom the first stapler was designed in the 18th century. And Thank you, Agentscout, for this great idea!
