Well, lets work on it piece by piece and you might end up with a spiffy chopper.

Something like that could be done with the Geido world creator. If you are going to make it more complex, then you may need something else, but simple worlds are easy to make with the Geido creator.

add some thickness to the walls

First of all you cannot make anything good in 10 minutes especially if the object is complex. Secondly, model like how you think the object would be built in real life. If you model messy - the final object will be messy. Thirdly, if this is your first or second or even third time modeling in Sketchup, take some time to learn the basic tools and make some basic objects before moving on to complex objects such as vehicles.

I would start with the main body, and just the main body to start, and then attach the back and the propeller and then the landing gear.

Good start...

Nice!

Looks a lot better now. You might want to bevel the edges of the main body to make it more round-ish. Also, try to flatten out the rotor a bit and make it more blade shaped and realistic. But overall, good job so far.

One way to do it is to find a very simple 3 view drawing of a helicopter and model from that.
Model one part at a time and keep things ultra simple.
- If you are not satisfied with a particular part, start over with that one part.
It will take time, but if you use the sketchup videos on youtube, you should soon be able to make a reasonable helicopter.

Much better. Yet still make it a little round from the front profile. This has potential!
» Reply to CommentRe: My Helicopter EDITED
Maybe try something a little different, rather than the single rotor design.
Otherwise looks okay, but maybe consider making a tail.

Lighten up Tiger.
Even if you did use that snark mark...

Nice progress kawasaki! However, if this did get into the game, what would its purpose be. At first I thought it could be an air transport - but that's what the Sky Monster is going to be for, right?
» Reply to CommentRe: My Helicopter EDITED AGAIN
The Helicopter is a mix between the Hovercraft and Jet. It's purpose would be a small transport, able to hold 1 instead of the 30 a Sky Monster can hold.

Helicopters on mars = doesn't work.
» Reply to CommentRe: My Helicopter EDITED AGAIN
Depends on how you look at it and design it. Don't say it doesn't work if you cant prove it.
» Reply to CommentRe: My Helicopter EDITED AGAIN
mars has atmosphere
if the propellers spun at 100x speed it would work.
» Reply to CommentRe: My Helicopter EDITED AGAIN
Or if the propellers have electromagnetic air pressurizers.

KNOWITALL COMMENT!
Only leaving it up for hopefully humorous, and positively ACCURATE editorial postings.

I have a dropship... but its ratorless. Inspired from the Osprey and the Avatar movie helicopters.
» Reply to CommentRe: My Helicopter EDITED AGAIN
Also note that if both rotors spin outwards, a tail rotor is not needed, but stabilizing fins will be.
» Reply to CommentRe: My Helicopter EDITED AGAIN
way too bulky. also mars is supposed to have futuristic vehicles.
» Reply to CommentRe: My Helicopter EDITED AGAIN
Why don't you design one then?
» Reply to CommentRe: My Helicopter EDITED AGAIN
im busy making a world
» Reply to CommentRe: My Helicopter EDITED AGAIN
And Mars is out of the support cycle. Development of game objects (excluding worlds) should be done with Syn3h in mind. Syn3h was chosen as the name because there is no preconceived idea of what must be in it. You can have a futuristic spacecraft along side an old, beat-up, lawnmower if you wanted to.
» Reply to CommentRe: My Helicopter EDITED AGAIN
Exactly.
» Reply to CommentRe: My Helicopter EDITED AGAIN
im gonna try and be positive this time. if you want to keep the bulky look make it look like an army helicopter. what is also contributing to the bulkiness is its not long enough. the picture your modeling it from is not a bulky helicopter. oh and by the way does anyone have a good lawnmower design. because if there was a mower in the game it could be like a tank that could shoot up into the air. btw i mean a riding lawnmower not a push mower.
» Reply to CommentRe: My Helicopter EDITED AGAIN
Uhh No I dont have a good lawnmover design.
» Reply to CommentRe: My Helicopter EDITED AGAIN
MacDane to the rescue! ;O)
» Reply to CommentRe: My Helicopter EDITED AGAIN
Uhh I think he wants a riding mower.
» Reply to CommentRe: My Helicopter EDITED AGAIN
Aaaaw....
-And I spent 10 minutes doing this?
*LOL*
» Reply to CommentRe: My Helicopter EDITED AGAIN
I literally ROFLed on that dane! :)
But annnnywho, yeah, what Appy said. Aubrey has basically confirmed that Macdane's biplane is going to be in Syn3h, so I wouldn't be surprised to see other 'outdated' vehicles in the future...
...except maybe that mower ;)
» Reply to CommentRe: My Helicopter EDITED AGAIN
I wouldn't be surprised if Aubrey put that mower in just for kicks.
» Reply to CommentRe: My Helicopter EDITED AGAIN
Everyone knows they don't have grass on Mars! This is a debasement of science! .~
» Reply to CommentRe: My Helicopter EDITED AGAIN
What, you don't mow rocks?.~
» Reply to CommentRe: My Helicopter EDITED AGAIN
Yes, you do :)
Actually that's a land mine clearer, but hey, you COULD...» Reply to CommentRe: My Helicopter EDITED AGAIN
I need one of those.
