I wanted to test out a skate spot I 3D modeled, so I built a replica for Tech Decks.
Miniature Skate Spot:
Life Size Skate Spot:
Building process:
I started off by 3D modeling a scaled down version, so the skate spot is proportionally equal to a life size skateboard relative to the skate spot.
Then I flattened the model out and fit the pieces on cardboard sheets.
I cut the pieces out of cardboard.
Taped them together.
And taped on printer paper with textures.
SketchUp is great for arts & crafts.
