I recently started with Sketchup and here's my first project:
This small U-Haul (in Space!) is based on the Ebon Hawk from the KotOR games but has a more symmetric design that offers more internal space.
Pretty basic so far.
The dual-engine will definitely be replaced with a more Millennium Falcon style engines, maybe I'll even add a dish.
No idea about the weapons placement yet but top and bottom will have at least one big turreted turbolaser.
The hollow part is going to be the internal layout: cargo / crew / medbay / sanitary installation.
Any ideas, inspiration, chocolate-chip cookies?

First Sketchup Project
"Bring your thousands, I have my axe."
"Bring your cannons, I have my armor."
"Bring your mighty... I am my own champion."
Cue Unit-01 ramming half the Lance of Longinus down Adam's head and a bemused Gendo, "Wrong end, son."

Re: First Sketchup Project
for pics for us, select model, hide lines, and do a decent shadow effect.
it's a nit hard to look at at the moment

Ventral view (flipped onto back to better see the shadows)
Not many changes made, real life always gets a bit bitchy whenever I want to do something with my computer.
The central part is now wider and I removed the overbite of the original. The cockpit will be moved upwards with panorama window.
The wing thingies are rounded and the transition isn't as sudden anymore.
For the rear I thought about seperating the engines into two strips to keep closer to the original design.
I hope these pictues are easier on the eyes.

Re: First Sketchup Project
Quick update.
Found the Animation feature... couldn't resist.
The new Cockpit is now added, but I' m not completely satisfied with it.
An opening for the landing ramp is now were the original cockpit was located.
I just hope the yt-embedding works...
Lighting improved by Youtube.
