Phew! finally finished - this is my first transformer done with google sketchup. I basically copied the toy as closely as I could (apart from the head as mine ain't got one). It's a big relief to finish building all the components and find that they do fit together properly I guess I'll try to make his booster/guns now and then do a colour swap to put him and Laserbeak in a scene.
Well - I've never got the hang of 3D packages in the past but this was very intuitive - it has some nice features, although I'm sure more advanced modelers could point out some drawbacks (eg, texturing seems to be pretty non existant). It's definately worth the price (Free)
Well, I think this is it for this project - although I could keep tweaking bits for ages. I'll probably put the models up on the Sketchup 3D warehouse soon if anyone wants to use them - there needs to be more tf's put on there :')
No, I want to try getting the hang of making more curvy objects and I've got an obscure character in mind to use in a diorama.
