Starting today I'd like to use the blog to feature models I think are pretty cool.
After all I started off my amateur SketchUp "career" as a collector and organizer of models on the Google 3D Warehouse (I became known, apparently, as 'The Librarian' at the Google Geo office in Boulder, Colorado).

What I like about this model is its feeling of completeness and solidity. Probably I'll use the same terms over and over again in future comments on future models.
I like how the textures blend from one surface to another as if they are one material, like in real life. I also like the way Peter presented his model-- nice and close and set at an angle to show it off to all who see it on the the 3D Warehouse.
Because Peter's SketchUp window was shaped to about a 5:3 ratio, the model preview image uploaded with the same ratio-- kind of boxy-- maximizing the use of the available height in the preview window (models uploaded from a widescreen such as 16:10 or 16:9 tend to appear short because of the height difference in the wider ratio).
This model is included in the following 3D model collections: My Favorite Thumbnails, Place of Worship
For inclusion in any of my model collections, please refer to this link. Thanks!
