    I'm still working on mine. Haven't had much time this week because of exams and life. Hope to get a nice portion of what I have left to do done this weekend. Cheers.

    no, that was done 3ds max, sketchup cant handle models as complex as that ;) ( actually when i started very early with sketchup i tried and after wasting weeks of time just with encoutering more and more bugs within sketchup i decided to learn max ;) )

    one more question, because itll be impossible for me to up my pics on the end of November, can i upload the final picture set earlier ??

    btw one last drawing pic, shows the case in its opened state:

    [​IMG]

    so maybe now the swivel and ball joints / hinges make more sense :)

    Pretty much all of the internal models are pulled from the sketchup components collection, ill provide a detailed list which model came from where when i upload the finalk renders, big thx to the modellers !!!!!!!!!!

    I was thinkin of building it, but actually it reached a state of complexity ( AFTER CHEAPSKATE JUST HAD TO MENTION NAUTILUS !! :D ) that it would be really really hard to do it...

    You are going to hate me now...
    It looks like Geiger re-designed a beetle.:D That's a good thing, though. It's awesome.

    Is there a way to make a private photo gallery here? Another option would be to PM the finals to confusis, and let him deal with posting them.
    -And thank you for contributing!

    i thought about sending the entries to confusis, but for doing that he has to speak up :)
    the open version even reminds me a bit of the bugs from star ship troopers :D

    omg epic crash.. lost 3hrs render time and 6+ hrs working on a webpage design :( anyway, now i know my way halfway through gimp :D

    :lol: That's why you set up a dedicated render system. Multitasking with a render going is just asking to be hurt.
    I should talk. My work rig is plugged into the cnc right now. -Thus the lack of updates from me...
