Okay, so here's what's been going on with the Grants Mining Museum/
Chamber of Commerce model, an iconic building of Grants.

About 2 years ago, when I first got SketchUp 6, I made a really cheap
model of the Mining Museum.

Of course, it was rejected. Much later, I took some more photos of the
building and put it into the Help Model Grants collection.

It looked somewhat easy to wake, so I did a more detailed version of
the building.

A looong time later, this was also rejected, for the following two
reasons: Model too heavy because of entourage, Incomplete texturing.
What? It was probably the huge trees covering the museum, which are
pretty much touching the front of the model. I couldn't figure out a
way to get around it, until now.

This is probably my largest-filesize model in Help Model Grants, but
it is quite accurate. It's currently "Awaiting review". Since this
file is so detailed, Google's reason for rejecting it (if they do)
will hopefully give some very useful details about improving the
model.

All right, Google rejected that on,e and the reason was "Incomplete
texturing". Ugh!
