Martian Chess Board

Here's a rendering of ee0r's tri-chess board (for playing martian chess with anywhere from 2-6 people).

It's arranged in a 3-player layout at the moment, and I had to run off before I could put some pyramids on it... oh well.

Sketchup Icehouse

I've been playing with sketchup and decided that a nice project would be to create an Icehouse Set since the plans were still available on the looneys' blog.

So far I have the three pointer done (no spots yet), and the other two should be fairly easy. From there I can make them into components and use them in other models. I wonder if there's a way to get the pieces to snap to preset points when they're stacked... I'll have to look into that.

Edit: It's a family!
I finished the two and one pointers, and proudly display them on a barren sketchup-scape.
