Spent some time further refining the drawing I made upon which this project is based. As I've messed with interior details, partitiion placement, etc., some stuf got out of kilter and I needed to put it back. Mainly the problems were concerned with the turret walls and windows. I also added a TV antenna.
SketchUp has many different drawing styles that you can use. This one simulates a watercolor. It's fitting since this house was based on a piece of artwork. I'm using blue on the model. I had green trim on the Nighthawks Cafe and this would be right next door.
And here's one more version using the Podium rendering engine that I have attached to SketchUp. This softens up the textures and gives it a more refined look. If you closely, I actually have chain holding up the porch swing. You can't tell, but it's actually a fully rendered link chain. The model is getting hugely complex for my computer. When I change views the model first renders with some of the complicated parts as skeletal line drawings and then they render to full view objects.
There's still a large amount of work to do. The table with all the parts is overwhelming.
