Michael Jackson- Neverland Ranch

I just came across this model of Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch by giotis (who also brought us the Sphinx). Pretty colorful and well done in my opinion!

Jack Kerouac Birthplace

Jack Kerouac's birthday is coming up (on March 12) and what better way to mark it than by sharing this attractive 3D SketchUp model by BerylDrue?

According to BerylDrue Kerouac was Lowell, Massachusetts' "most famous writer." He would have been 91 a week from today.

I've added this model to the collections Americana, My Favorite Thumbnails and House and Hotel. See this link for other "literary landmarks" modeled by Beryl.

Help Model St. Augustine, Florida

A call to 3D modelers! Help 3D modeler Jay get St. Augustine, Florida, modeled!

Hello and welcome guys!

If there is anyone you would like to add to this group feel free! I am new to this stuff so I know it might not be that exciting to you but I am feeling great about it! So my main objective was to get this city going. St. Augustine is the oldest friggin city in the US and there is virtually nothing on Google Earth... unacceptable! If you are able to contribute to a model in the area that would be great. If not that is fine also. Spread the word and lets get it going. It will be fun!

Thanks,
Jay

New York's NEW Tallest Building

Sorry, Empire State Building. You are now officially the second tallest once again!

Sometime today the new One World Trade Center eclipsed the Empire State Building as New York City's tallest building. Even though it is currently only 1,250 feet tall, at completion it will be 1,776 feet tall.

Thanks to Athinaios for the great, evolving model, which was last updated on April 28, 2012. I've added it to the following 3D model collections: 2010s, Americana

Happy New Year 2011

Happy New Year Everybody! Enjoy this model from the user "Google 3D Warehouse":

One Times Square is the name of the building in Times Square upon which the famous New Year's Times Square Ball drop is performed annually. It was originally designed by Cyrus L.W. Eidlitz and James C. Mackenzie, Jr. and built by the New York Times in 1904 as a headquarters for their operations. Upon completion, the 25 story, 395 ft (120 m) skyscraper was acknowledged as the second tallest building in the world.

This is included in my following 3D model collections: Around the World in 3D, 1900s, Americana

Hurray For Hollywood

According to a BBC News article, the famous Hollywood sign has been saved from redevelopment. Now the hilltop where the icon "lives" will remain protected and in its natural state. A Chicago-based group had considered plans to develop the hilltop as an exclusive residential neighborhood.
