Placing it here was part of the agreement with the people who supplied the aerial image. Purchasing the image normally wouldn't give the right to distribute it (see what we're up against...) so I agreed to make my 3D models available on Google Earth.

Yeah, true, but the textures are degraded through the conversion process, and it takes a lot of work to convert them to anything useful -- it would be a lot easier just to pay the 18 bucks...
