3D Challenge #023 - Star Wars podracer


Note: Please read the guidelines for participating in the challenge. The purpose of the challenge is to have fun and bring SketchUp users together and help each other learn and get better at using our favorite 3d modeling program. We will remove comments that are objectionable or offensive.

This week's challenge:

Star Wars podracer

If you've watched the movie Star Wars: episode I - The phantom menace, you might remember the part with the Boonta Eve Challenge on the planet Tatooine. This was a race of several laps with so called "podracers". These podracers usually consist of two huge turbine engines which drag a small capsule with the driver. The one who completes the laps the fastest wins the race. This week the challenge is to create your own podracer for the Boonta Eve Challenge. The overall design should consist of one capsule for the driver with two engines. Weapons are not allowed, as speed and raw power are the keywords for your design.

Good luck ALL!

    I made this one without the "lightning" connector, but instead tried to figure out what it would be like with a mechanical connection. I didn't see the movie so I don't know what the "lightning" is, but the mechanics allow movement of the pod in all directions. Pod Rod

    ps. I would never attempt to fly this monster.

    @Dalexd

    Well, you had two other models entered and posted on the blog. You have always posted on the blog in past challenges, so it fell under moderator discretion and was posted to the voting poll.

    We kept the poll open until aprox 8:00 PM (est) for late entries.

    @Chris Jackson

    Was hoping you would make the deadline. Sorry that it was not included. The mods have chosen to stand by the rule of posting and do hope you enter in the next challenge.
