SketchUp 3D Challenge #225: Merry-Go-Round

Monday, 23 November 2015 - Sunday, 6 December 2015

View Challenge Entries

The Merry-Go-Round, also known as a Carousel or a Roundabout, is a popular amusement ride typically involving the riding of wooden horses over a rotating platform. Prior to the mid-19th century, the horses were mounted to chains and would fly out from centrifugal force. (What could possibly go wrong?) The activity actually evolved out of a combat preparation exercise for horsemen in the middle ages, believe it or not. Modern Merry-Go-Rounds also include seats and benches in addition to the horses.

For this challenge you are to model a Merry-Go-Round (rotate clockwise) or a Carousel (rotate counter- or anti-clockwise) of either the platform or chain-suspended variety.

SketchUp 3D Challenge #224: Mailboxes

Monday, 09 November 2015 - Sunday, 22 November 2015

View Challenge Entries

A mailbox or letterbox is a receptacle for receiving incoming mail for a private residence or business. They sometimes combine with parcel boxes for package delivery, but for the most part, used for correspondence. Due to more reliance on electronic communication, these may soon become relics of the past.

For this challenge, you are to model an existing mailbox design or one from your own imagination. You may create an array of mailboxes or a single receptacle. A high level of detail is strongly encouraged to set your model apart from the others.
