I would not have known that these existed if not for this thread (which is turning out to be oddly lucky for me). Unless it’s prohibited, I don’t see why you don’t put a link to your ShareCG things in your sig – or post one in freebies here with a link in the readme. I’m sure a lot of folks here would love these, but don’t necessarily search ShareCG.

Glad you found something of interest, and so far, that's why a lot of them have survived.  Sharecg doesn't cost anything, so it's not cost, but I see some that have been there for several years and the last three I released have higher downloads in less than six months. 

The Shady Nook will be rebuilt, I got lazy and the back door doesn't open, and the service window doesn't either.  There is a real Shady Nook, although how many rebuilds it's been through, I couldn't tell you.  At the time I lived in that town, now called part of the pot capitol of the United States (Mendocino county, Cal) what I modeled was as close as I could remember  The dimensions of the building were dictated by the size of a sheet of plywood, the less cutting, the better.  Build a frame and nail the sides on, throw on a coat of paint, and presto!  A business!  Also where I got the worst case of food poisoning I've ever had.  But that was the time and the location, the location is the same, but the building isn't.

THe school, I look at it now, and think that I was trying to model the school where I attended fourth through eighth grade, and while the building still exists, it's now a home.  I'd like to find a good picture somewhere of the merrygoround we had, that has a lot of possibilites in my particular interest in 3d.  There were times when it was occupied all during the lunch break by the eighth grade, Margaret and myself, the whole eighth grade.  Margaret was older, but the daughter of a migrant worker, in my eyes, beautiful.  Don't know what she thought of the skinny thirteen year old that was sitting with her, slowly pushing the go round, round.  She was sixteen, probably having a good laugh to herself.  It'll be rebuilt, someday, but that one is going to stay there until I do.

A lot of the download counts there aren't accurate, they were there when sharecg made some software changes, the school at that time had over 900 downloads, getting close to a thousand.  But most of them are pretty bad, the way I see it, I hadn't made any scaling tools yet, now I have them and can do a little better.  I'd like to see the school as it was when I went there, red brick, which is now white vinyl siding.  It doesn't look like a school anymore, but enough that I look at it and then at what I made.  Not even close.  And the .obj is a nightmare of mistakes that have been hidden from view.  I'll fix them too, I think.

Being lazy is the reason I don't have a link.
