3D Modeling - Shapeways

[Leper]

So I've been giving 3D Modeling a shot. I am using Google Sketchup to create my models, Meshlab as a file converter, and Netfabb Studio to fix them. I'm doing everything as trial and error but I've gotten a few to seemingly work and I'm getting a lot better.

My first working model:

It's a hilt designed to hold a flame piece or other 3mm bar. I have a few different versions of this (all slightly different) but this was my first one that actually worked. Shapeways link

My second working model:

Darth Maul's lightsaber! This one was a lot harder but it also helped me learn a lot. I had to completely rebuild this three times. I also had some errors in the final version that I was able to fix without rebuilding. Shapeways link

and in color

Thanks for looking and any help would be much appreciated. Enjoy!

Wow! Good work. I really like the flame holder. It is a very nice piece. They both are for that matter!

Thanks a bunch Puck! I'm going to be making some more of the flame swords over the next few days as I like those too. :)
