For this challenge your job is to create a municipal airport. Also known as a domestic or regional airport, a municipal airport is defined as a airport that only handles domestic flights within the same country and serve a small geographic region. These airports do not have any customs and immigration facilities needed by an international airport. Municipal airports are generally used for private aircraft, helicopters, smaller business jets and regional airlines.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
Your municipal airport doesn't have to be very large hover it should include all the necessary&amp;nbsp;structures&amp;nbsp;used in the function of an airport. This should at a minimum include a control tower, a terminal and, of course, an airstrip with taxiways. There should be an area for loading passengers and places to park aircraft. If you need more information airports, a good place to start is &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airport"&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
Special rules for Challenge 135: you may use a few basic aircraft from the 3D Warehouse but they should be rather generic in appearance (the smaller the file size the better.) Do not modify any downloaded models besides scaling them to fit the scale of your model. All other &lt;a href="http://sketchup3dchallenge.blogspot.com/p/standard-participation-rules.html"&gt;standard rules&lt;/a&gt; apply.&lt;/div&gt;

Happy New Year! To ring in the new year you are asked to model a wristwatch. It can be of any design, shape or size, digital or analog. As long as it tells time and straps onto a human wrist, the sky is the limit! Make sure you finish before time runs out...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
In this special challenge you will be tasked with modeling a modern themed bedroom. Your finished room should be completely furnished with a high level of detail. You are encouraged to decorate your room with artwork and accessories that fit in the modern theme. Your room should be free of clutter and use clean lines and geometric shapes. Be sure to include walls, ceiling and floors, light fixtures and windows to let in adequate light. Create scenes to show off all of your room.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
The winner of this challenge will receive a professional rendering of their completed bedroom from our own Rahul Desai using V-Ray. &amp;nbsp;Because of this we ask that you submit your finished model without any renderings.&lt;/div&gt;

The community Christmas tree has been a holiday tradition around the United States since the early 20th Century that now spans around the world. Let us celebrate this tradition by modeling one in SketchUp!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
You are not limited to just fresh cut or live trees, you may also decorate a structure that a community disguises to create their tree. Use your imagination and don't hold back. If you feel like doing the entire town square, go ahead but don't run out of time.&lt;/div&gt;

Mr. Gosselin, a 9th Grade Art teacher, heard about 3D Challenge #331 - Banks and thought it would be a perfect exercise for his students to participate in the challenge. He wrote on &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Google-SketchUp-3D-Challenge/246658135392729"&gt;our Facebook page&lt;/a&gt; to let us know about it and asked if the challenge could be extended to accommodate his teaching schedule. A compromise was reached and it was decided to create a special challenge for his students to allow their work to be voted on and to receive recognition for their work. So here we are...&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;A &lt;b&gt;snowmobile&lt;/b&gt;, also known in some places as a &lt;b&gt;snowmachine&lt;/b&gt;, or &lt;b&gt;sled&lt;/b&gt;, is a land vehicle for winter travel on snow. Designed to be operated on snow and ice, they require no road or trail. Design variations enable some machines to operate in deep snow or forests; most are used on open terrain, including frozen lakes, or driven on paths or trails. Usually designed to accommodate a driver and one passenger, their use is much like a motorcycle and an all-terrain vehicle (ATVs) intended for winter use on snow-covered ground and frozen ponds and waterways. They have no enclosure except for a windshield and their engine normally drives a continuous track or tracks at the rear; skis at the front provide directional control.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

For this challenge you will be asked to Occupy SketchUp and model a bank. Piggy banks while cute and oh so cuddly in a cold, hard, porcelain kind of way, but they do not apply to this challenge. We are talking about commercial banks, the kind where you deposit your hard earned cash and fees begin to dwindle down your balance.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
You can design a hometown branch, a credit union, a big institutional city bank with elaborate Gothic architecture or anything in between. In addition to this you may choose to model a bank of the past, present or future. And please, no mattresses, coffee cans or anything shoe involved because that may indicate you actually do that...&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
For this challenge you will be modeling a flying car or a hover car. Flying cars may be defined in many ways but, for the purposes of this challenge a flying car is defined a vehicle designed for 2 to 6 passengers, that is operated by its owner for daily use, that’s primary means of movement is through flight and would take the place of today's automobile. This also includes landspeeders, airspeeders. Jetsonian aerocars, VTOLs, etc.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
You may model an existing flying car design, real or fictional, or you may design your own out of your imagination. Your submitted flying car may have wheels but they are purely optional. The vehicle’s means of propulsion may be based in reality or complete sci-fi non-sense (and even though my handle is JediCharles and have a fondness of sci-fi tech, it is still non-sense).&lt;/div&gt;

Since May, 2008 I have participated in &lt;a href="http://jedicharles.com/sketchup/3dchallenge/"&gt;41 separate challenges&lt;/a&gt; and have had the opportunity to win a total of 10 times. Participating in the challenge has been a lot of fun and I look forward to keeping the spirit of the challenge alive.&lt;br /&gt;
You should expect interesting challenge topics that will spur your imagination and keep your modeling skills sharp. I am currently working on new ways to showcase challenge winners in addition to recognition on the blog and challenge certificates.&lt;br /&gt;
I would also like to take a moment to thank MILO Minderbinder for doing an outstanding job during his year and a half tenure as admin for the Challenge. Your efforts deserve a lot of gratitude and will not be forgotten. &lt;br /&gt;
Please take a moment to express your thanks to Milo by commenting on this post.&lt;br /&gt;

We're very sorry, and it may remind you of the silent period after Challenge #098. I just wanted to let you know, the site is under construction, and soon we'll be up and running again. That's the good news.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sad news is, that I will be leaving all of you! I've made some great friends among the followers of the 3D Challenge, and it's been a good year and-a-half since I first came here. We already have a new candidate for Challenge moderator, but it will be a surprise for everyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can still email me on infophenix01@gmail.com, for anything you want to know, or just to have a chat, but I won't be updating the blog anymore. It has been a fun time, and maybe, I'll join you in the Challenge!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like Bruce says:&lt;br /&gt;Happy Sketching,&lt;br /&gt;Milo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://1622966241376861655-a-1802744773732722657-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/sucertificates110/cert120129/ChallengeGoodbye.jpg?attachauth=ANoY7cr5zVZGvYOjtympnCwlI2bcEePzOGdYfz1HK2Wkm6L15wNbA-BVp7RuXGurnGzSqlAU5ySlkKi41eL-bROwOjQQ0H6qhWBP36LH7KnO8GkYmotAh3DOp0yjJO-IQqzLl7vA6C45LR5KG4kqV783P5y8LAROoZwKZpunZVJfKIfoK2TA5RE4A4Q6YyXNGDSAVNW4iL0qnDAnwDGjBWtLF0IewSacLZfzYl11Z3QsY3GEKHP1k8E%3D&amp;amp;attredirects=0"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 509px; height: 205px;" src="https://1622966241376861655-a-1802744773732722657-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/sucertificates110/cert120129/ChallengeGoodbye.jpg?attachauth=ANoY7cr5zVZGvYOjtympnCwlI2bcEePzOGdYfz1HK2Wkm6L15wNbA-BVp7RuXGurnGzSqlAU5ySlkKi41eL-bROwOjQQ0H6qhWBP36LH7KnO8GkYmotAh3DOp0yjJO-IQqzLl7vA6C45LR5KG4kqV783P5y8LAROoZwKZpunZVJfKIfoK2TA5RE4A4Q6YyXNGDSAVNW4iL0qnDAnwDGjBWtLF0IewSacLZfzYl11Z3QsY3GEKHP1k8E%3D&amp;amp;attredirects=0" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4986990254141180682-19782709621443348?l=sketchup3dchallenge.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/IEyI/~4/Odf5Ufrzjjc" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/IEyI/~3/Odf5Ufrzjjc/challenge-blog-under-construction.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (milo minderbinder)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://sketchup3dchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/10/challenge-blog-under-construction.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4986990254141180682.post-6258264766006184288</guid><pubDate>Sun, 11 Sep 2011 12:05:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-11-16T15:31:52.739-08:00</atom:updated><title>Sketchup 3D Challenge #129 - City Hall</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The subject of Challenge #129 is City Hall! Above, you can see the former city hall of San Francisco, which was built over 25 years. But sadly, it was destroyed in 1906 by a big earthquake. On the site today stand the new public library. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Design a new City Hall for any city in any kind of shape, or make yourself a beautifully photo-textured geo-located model of an existing one. It doesn't really matter what it looks like, as long as it can serve as City hall!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;For those of you who are on vacation, but still want to participate in the Sketchup 3D Challenge, a four-week-long Summer Break Challenge!

&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The winner of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;previous 3D Challenge #127 - Memorial&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; is:&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;HenkieTenk &lt;/span&gt;with his model &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Abducted&lt;/span&gt;! Based on an&lt;a href="http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/download?mid=a44946072d2ac00d2a9ac6e37486360c&amp;amp;rtyp=lt&amp;amp;ctyp=other&amp;amp;ts=1310825374000"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" src="http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/download?mid=a44946072d2ac00d2a9ac6e37486360c&amp;amp;rtyp=lt&amp;amp;ctyp=other&amp;amp;ts=1310825374000" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 137px; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; width: 249px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; event that will happen in about six years, it almost seems HenkieTenk is somewhat psychic, and knows what will happen in the near future! As are a lot of other submitters, who reffered to events that will happen in -for example- 2052. Great model, HenkieTenk, and I know I can &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;count &lt;/span&gt;on you, Tóth!

For this Challenge, you'll need to design a space-age Grinder, which also houses dogs, and is powered &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;by water. Is that unexpected enough for y'all? Your head must be boiling with inspiration alread, so get modeling right away! But most importantly, have fun!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;3D Challenge tag: "&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;3D Challenge 126&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;_______________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The winner of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;3D Challenge #125 - Barbecues and Grills&lt;/span&gt; is:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GoldenSim with his    &lt;span class="bigbluetitle" id="bylinetitle"&gt;Luxury BBQ!

The image above shows one of three Soong Sisters Houses, in the center of Singapore,  mysteriously abandoned in the 1980s. The estimated value of the complex  is 465 milion USD.
