One of the other things ive been doing lately is experimenting with Sketchup8. I currently am working on a starship, and could use a little help. basically Ive run into the 3D version of writers block, and any input would be great. also once this project is designed to my satisfaction, is there anyone willing to take on the task of translating this to pepakura so I can build it?

progress so far;

That's a cool looking ship. Wish I could help but I know zilch about Sketchup. Maybe someone will be able.

I don't know Sketchup either. But I do love the rear view of your ship. Very pleasing to the eye.

Im working on a colony Module version of this ship, but I honestly have no idea sadly how to translate this to pepukura. it would be a blast to build. :(

I haven't leaned Sketchup yet either, but I did find this; CAD addict: SketchUp Plugins: Better Unfold Tool - Flattery (http://www.cad-addict.com/2010/04/sketchup-plugins-better-unfold-tool.html)

Maybe you won't need Pepakura?

I wish I had your Sketchup block!
I tried to design in 3D and just about smashed my computer! lol
