Year One

It’s been a year now making models for Google Earth in SketchUp. I had been dabbling with if for longer just never got round to uploading a model till the 30^th of June 2010. My first model was Raindale Mill. As a sort of birthday surprise I have updated to original model. As this was my first model it was a huge 4 megabyte file and rather shoddy compared to what I can knock out now. Using all the skills I have gained over the last year I did the mill up. Its now just under 2 megabits and looks a lot nicer.

In other news last night I finished my course work that has been stopping me do the models. From now on I will be pushing the modelling back into the works. More on that tomorrow…

Coast to Coast; Way of the Roses, Conquered!

I got back last night after completing the ride. It was the best ride I have done for a long time. When I got back I found that the library has gone in and the big bit of the city walls. Now all the walls are in. If not in a slightly wonky state. This will be the next big sort out. The next week I am going to be busy getting other bits and bobs done so won’t do any modelling.

Coast to Coast; Way of the Roses

I am all sorted for my big ride. I am now going to get off to work and then it’s off on the trip so I won’t be on now till Monday night. I can then start to do more models.

No models

I doubt I will do anything for a week or so now. I am busy sorting out my bike ride and course to do anything.

Explore York Library Learning Centre

Today I finished the beast model. It was the Explore York Library Learning Centre and took about 12 hours to do. It seems to have been rate moderate which sounds about right. Not sure what I will model now as I seem to be only able to think about my big ride :oD

The beast of models

I am working on a really impressive model but you’re just going to have to wait till tomorrow to find out what it is. I have pumped 4 hours into it so far and it’s looking great.

Yet another church

I didn’t plan on getting this one done tonight but 3 hours later it seems to be finished. I might finish off the last few models this weekend that I have photographs for then when I get back from coast to coast I will go on a nice big ride and get more photographs.

One week to go

Until I ride the coast to coast way of the roses.

Hit 50

I wanted to put this up last night but the net broke so couldn’t! I have finally got 50reviews for the Minster. I want to get it to 100 by the end of the year. Tonight I made a small signal box I photographed a while back now. I am now working on a small model to go next to the Minster. It should be done tomorrow.

Staying in

I ended up staying in and working on a model that I have had for a while now. I started another to but don’t think I can finish it as I have a mission texture. I have also reworked a building maker model as it needed to be better.

Home or Away?

It says it’s going to be nice weather for modeling tomorrow. I am wondering if its better to go get more churches out of town or get some done in town.

On another church front I got St Mary’s in Tadcaster done today.

All change again

I have finally got my new logo on all the models. I have also linked all the models to my website. Finishing off with uploading “the big bit” of the wall so that my wall models are total!

June hits hard

I am wiped out already. I have yet to properly upload my logo. I might get round to it tomorrow is not the weekend.

The New Logo
