The back view of the Satellite Killer the members of
management_9 were challenged to produce.
Nothing techy to say, feel like crap and can't think of anything particularly witty or technical to say about the Satellite Killer.
Modeled in Google Sketchup 7.
Enjoy~

Heh thanks.
I've been doing this for about 2 years or so. I've had practice and started out doing swords, then guns, lightly touched on mecha and buildings and various custom military style vehicles, and then space craft.
All i can say is practice alot and give the tutor or whatever it is called in Sketchup that shows you what each tool does. While Sketchup is open go to the 'Window' drop down then look for and click instructor. When you click a tool on the tool bar it'll show in the instructor window what each tool does. Its fairly helpful for those starting out.

That may require a bit of imagination. ^^; The vast majority of what I model is from my imagination or inspired by stuff I see in movies, games, etc.
When I'm REALLY bored I make jewels in sketchup. Its not hard to make fairly easy things like Crystals.
I would recommend playing with each tool and familiarize yourself with them. Its sorta like drawing a picture, you get to know your tools of choice then proceed with making things that you think of.

One of the ones that took me a while to get was 'follow me. It works best if you're trying to make a half sphere.
But each tool once you play with it enough provides a fair bit of use. Only tools i don't use are Position Camera and Walk.
The 'Look' tool (looks like an eye) is a good alternative if you're cleaning the inside of a model of stray lines or trash lines.You click and drag left, right, up down, etc to pivot in where the camera is.
The Push/Pull tool will turn a square/rectangle, circle, or polygon into a 3D Box, Cylinder, etc.
The Arc Tool lets you create arcs, i use this tool when creating a curve in a blade or i begin to make a half sphere.
The Follow Me tool allows you to take and make an object follow along a certain line. I use this tool paired with the Circle, Arc, and Line tool when finishing out a half sphere.
The Move/Copy Tool lets you move a selected object from one place to another. Pressing Ctrl while you have an object selected then clicking and draging that object makes a duplicate of that object. When selecting and moving/copying its a good practice to be sure you selected all of what you plan to move otherwise it will distort and warp on those unselected lines.
Though not a tool but it is a helpful point of reference the Red, Blue, and Green Axis are what allow you to know wether you are moving an object up, down, or to the sides. It is often shown by a light blue/green/red faint dotted line as your moving your selected object.
The Scale tool lets you make things as big or as small as you want them, or as big or small as your PC can tolerate before it starts lagging out.
The Paint tool allows you to paint, of course. Within the paint options you can add matte textures or whatever else it provides you with.
The Erase tool is self explanitory. You use it to remove lines, or by double/triple clicking to select the entire object and hit the Delete button.
There's too many other tools to list and explain. Just playing around with them all is often the best method of getting to know what everything does.

the follow me tool looks like a short cylinder with a red arc and red curved arrow.
The Erase tool looks like an eraser.
You probably have the Getting Started tool bar up. its the default toolbar. My tool bar is the one that has everything on it, its an optional one, othewise known in sketchup's view > toolbars as the 'Large Toolbar.'

gauss guns take less damage when firing and use less energy but arent as powerful as railguns but RG's need more power and to have the rails replaced often
a gauss will do perfectly for anti-satelite work as it isnt as labour and energy intensive and can pump out rounds as a decent rate
