How large should I make a model in Sketchup?

If you have a model already made for Blocko-size, that would be great!

Or... how should I determine the size myself? Should I use the measurement that Sketch-up gives?

Not sure.

I'm in the process of making a huuuuge gun model in order to get detail in and if I can resize it if possible.

Sketch up includes a measuring feature where you can measure in cm or ft or meters etc. Anyway, just make a simple knife for now and it doesn't have to be perfect. Just blocko. Then do my method of scaling. The guessing game :) export that model script it and finally check it out ingame. Now you know how big or small it is.  (And yes it is a crappy knife. I only used it as a scale to find out how big and how small other things should be in the future.)
P.S. If your using Blender for blockland, I suggest resizing using a .3 scale factor(I think. I'll check soon)
