Not even a fortnight ago, forum member Jack B. Erhart – aka “Jax” or “Jaxcoffee” after his Coffee House and Roastery in Paso Robles CA – started a project; to model all existing Carnegie Libraries in the US. As a first step, he started with his home sate of California and already three members of the SCF community (him plus “leedeetee” and “MuseumMaker“) together with others from elsewhere, as can be seen from the project’s Google Group site are working on the models in the 3D Warehouse collection page. So far there are 13 models – that would roughly make one a day which is quite impressive – so the collection is growing.
Hopefully the project will flourish, more and more skilled and enthusiastic modellers join and these fine, historic buildings receive the attention they deserve and the Carnegie Foundation will eventually find a way to support the project. Congrats Jax and the others and hooray for the project!
