SketchUp 3D Challenge #271: Carnival Games

Challenge Period: Monday, 28 August 2017 - Sunday, 10 September 2017

Carnival game
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A carnival game is a game of chance or skill that can be seen at a traveling carnival, charity fund raiser, amusement arcade and amusement park, or on a state and county fair midway. They are also commonly played on holidays such as Mardi Gras, Saint Patrick's Day, and Oktoberfest.
Carnival games are usually operated on a "pay per play" basis. Prices may range from a small amount, for example 25¢ (cents), to a few dollars per play. Most games offer a small prize to the winner. Prizes may include items like stuffed animals, toys, or posters. Continued play is encouraged as multiple small prizes may traded in for a larger prize. Multiplayer games—the "Watergun" game is one example—may change the size of the prize with the number of players. In a more difficult game, including the "Baseball and Basket" or "Stand the Bottle", a large prize may be awarded to any winner.
For the purposes of this challenge, you are to model a carnival/funfair game including the display of the available prizes. The most important thing is to have fun with this challenge!

SketchUp 3D Challenge #270: Wacky Hot Air Balloons

Challenge Period: Monday, 14 August 2017 - Sunday, 27 August 2017


We've done hot air balloons before so this time we're doing it with a twist. For the purposes of this challenge, you are to model a hot air balloon with humor in mind. Your hot air balloon isn't limited to the traditional shape as long as flight is plausible. Think cartoons, animals, parody, satire, or things you wouldn't expect to see flying. The only requirement is that it stay good, clean fun!
