I, your trusty (most of the time) challenge administrator, JediCharles, am in the doghouse this week. That's right, I completely spaced the creation of this weeks challenge in time for yesterday. So because of this, challenge #144's topic is the Ultimate Doghouse.

Use your creativity to envision and design your interpretation of the ultimate doghouse. It can be any size or shape as long it will safely and securely house man's best friend. Don't be afraid to go over the top as the only budget to contend with is your time.

Standard Participation Rules apply.

SketchUp 3D Challenge #143 - Power Tools

Sunday, 6 May 2012 - Wednesday, 16 May 2012

Power tools, where would we without them? Some people would still have all 20 fingers and toes (even though they would be covered in blisters). There are all kinds of power tools to choose from and plenty of people who don't know how to use them. In this challenge you don't have to worry about that; the only tools required are your brains, your computer and, of course, Google SketchUp!

For a list of potential tools to model, be sure to check out the WikiPedia article on power tools. Standard Participation Rules apply.

SketchUp 3D Challenge #142 - Observation Towers

Sunday, 22 April 2012 - Wednesday, 2 May 2012

View Entry Models | Status: Finished

In light of the 50th Anniversary of the Seattle Space Needle, Challenge #142 is to model an observation tower. While the Space Needle has its trademark saucer shape, observation towers come in all shapes and sizes and serve a variety of purposes. Many of them double as radio towers and include restaurants and sometimes high speed thrill rides.

Your job is to model either an existing structure or design one out of your own creation. Feel free to make them as tall as you want and let your imagination escape you. The more detail the better... Be sure to make some nice scenes to show off your work. The most important thing is that you feel challenged and have fun.
