A Diller, A Dollar, A Ten O' Clock Scholar

It is satisfying to see a model you've created appear in Google Earth, especially when you've made it with care. My model of the Orloj in Prague (hybrid SketchUp/Building Maker model) just became one of Google Earth's newest.

I had fun using GE's weather and sun features to "revisit" the Orloj at night and with more sunny weather than when I actually visited it (see screen caps).

Orloj Ahoj!

Play video for 3D tour of Old Town Square, Prague (not a SketchUp model)

I just uploaded my 3D model version of the Orloj-- the 600-year-old Astronomical Clock and Old Town Hall in Prague. Then I found this video (above) of a detailed 3D model someone else made which is way cooler. I'm still happy with my own model though.

Mine is a hybrid Building Maker - SketchUp model, utilizing some photos I took myself while visiting Old Town Square in Prague. Check it out, and also look at this link showing a faster animated version of the clock dial (makes it easier to understand).
