since your still adding to the list i wanted to add a few more ideas to the list of organic models. i was thinking of parts of the head. like the nose, eyes, ears, lips, hand, feet. you can also do certain gestures of the hand, feet, lips etc.

you can find some nice reference at Philippe Faraut’s website:

Hey Roberto, would it be ok if we deviate from the list?..I’m talking about due to lack of good references for most of them…let me know…and HERE’S my WIP thread SILVER

and sup w/ the “thump’s up” @ the bottom of everyone’s post?..or is it just me??

#68

sure thing roberto

it appears as though cgtalk has adopted a reputation system…clicking the thumbs up guy adds rep points to that user

#69

thx robo3687…

…hey Roberto, I know you’re a busy guy, but I’m still waiting for a response to my question…allow me to explain…I’ve found a few things around my apt that would be great to model b/c I can actually hold, measure, and see every lil detail about them ( nail clipper, flip- flops, toothBrush, vacuumCleaner etc ) I mean there’s still over 25days left for the challenge…I can compose a list…others might be interested…whaddu ya say? :deal:

#70

I’m actually a few models in already, but I forgot to announce my participation. Here’s the link to the thread:

HARDCORE MODELING!: 30Days_30Models: Silver (at least)

Later,

#72

cool…here goes::

toothBrush
ceiling fan
alarm clock
nail clipper
flip flops
reading glasses
bathTub
gameController
DVD player
liquidSoap bottle
toy car ( or truck )
sneakers
coffeeMaker
boomBox
doorKnub
retroTelephones
motherBoards
watch
USB
closetDoor

…and pretty much what’s on robo3687 list as well…

#73

I like that idea too. A sharpie I can hold and measure is alot easier than lets say a hippo. This will help a lot of unexperienced people to do more tangable objects and therefor more models.

I know this would help me out.

#74

I dont know if you are really going to go through with adding more objects… but if you are,
here are a few more ideas.

oragami crane
guitar
trumpet
sax

Ok guys personally… I think that if its not on the list… it won’t be, or shouldn’t be… I mean I understand Binder’s proposal and I think that those could be for a future challenge, but as for this current challenge I think the list is THE list, because otherwise everyone doing the challenge could be like “Oh can I do a Q-tip, Salt Shaker, Printer, DVD, etc.” see where I’m going with this… I mean being able to research this is part of the challenge not just the modeling… Honestly I’ve seen some pretty good models with just using web references…

I mean it’s only fair… because the technology list didn’t get in (though robo3678 wanted to do them)…

but that’s just me.

But I do have a related question… I want to do a model of a B-17 (personal reasons)… and was wondering if I could do one for this challenege… It is like a B-52 except a smaller version of it… I can do either… I have orthos of each… I was just wondering if I could… (this isn’t a major deviation from the list just a slight one since it is still a bomber plane)… either way I am going to do the B-17 I was just wondering if I would be able to use it for the competition… Thanks (PS if you are wondering what it looks like go HERE)
