I especially liked the one with the blood on it.
I also did a 3D model of a Czech Hedgehog you can
view and download from the Google Sketchup Warehouse. What's interesting is you used similar wording to the description I gave for a the Czech Hedgehog, when I wrote "
This is a Czech Hedgehog, a European theatre World War II anti-tank weapon. It's roughly 6 feet tall, and designed such that a tank can't simply push it free, the tank will generally end up on top of it. It is what is called an "area denial weapon" in that it attempts to deny enemy access to an area protected by it. "
It's one of more than 100 models
I've uploaded both large and small to the
3D warehouse, ranging from a 1/4" nut on a 1" bolt, all the way to several buildings more than 50 stories tall, and many other things. I have both uploaded models to the warehouse as well as included other people's models in stuff I created. It's a lot of fun to do things in 3D that you wouldn't have the capacity to do if you had to use real-life modeling things like clay, wood, metals, etc.
To use any model from the 3d warehouse you need Sketchup 8 which is available
in a free download from Google. It's an amazing application for what it does. I'd say it puts the equivalent of a multi-thousand-dollar 3D CAD system into the hands of an ordinary person, for free. Rare cases of people who do professional development and need the extra tools can buy the $495 version.
