Recently, the Dominion Institute of Canada sponsored a unique challenge aimed at some of our younger users (14- to 25-year-olds were allowed to enter). Using SketchUp, Google Earth and the 3D Warehouse, participants were asked to do research about the Allied landings at Juno Beach during World War II. The challenge was to create 3D models related to this historic event. There were some outstanding entries created for the contest, and now that the modeling dust has settled the judges have chosen a winner. We'd like to extend our congratulations to Rahul Desai for his winning entry, the HMCS Haida (pictured above). We'd also like to congratulate all the other participants on their excellent work.
