VETO Buckrake [UPDATE - 23 oct.]

[Random Hero]

Hi folks! I'm currently trying to make a mod in Google Sketchup, that have animations. So far i have only started the 'base'-model:
A' VETO Buckrake.

The size is as accurate as i can get it. Have used a few hours in my dads shed to write down the dimensions


Model: 50%
Animation: 0%
Skin: 0%

Toplink done.
Spears 'bolted' to the mainframe.
Inclined brace done. Pretty tricky to make.
Mainframe-tube enlarged. One of the wrong measurements i made.

Rendered in Maya! Dont know why the colors dosent appear in the model, but i will try playing around in Maya to figure it out. I have the 2009 version of Maya and the I3D-exporter provided by Giants dont work with that version
But still, working on a solution for that to.


Any comments are welcome

I know. But i dont have Maya installed right now and i am still new to 3D-modelling so i need a easy program to start with. Like Google Sketchup. And i have seen a lot of nice mods where the model have been made in Sketchup. Maya is to complicated for me to use. To many options for me at the moment.
