I just thought you might be interested, I’ve been working to produce 3D computerised models of watermills and windmills for the 3D layer on Google Earth. They do lose a little detail when optimised by Google, but are still quite pleasing.
The models are of: Newhall Mill, Sutton Coldfield; Place Mill, Christchurch; Hardley Drainage Mill, Norfolk; Thurne Drainage Mill, Norfolk (see image above); Berney Arms Drainage Mill, Norfolk; and just submitted, awaiting approval by Google is St.Benet’s Level Drainage Mill, Norfolk.
Links to download original un-optimised copies directly in Google Earth are as follows:
