Thanks for the kind words. I should mention I brought the owner an offer of $2.25 million, and he turned it down, believing he can do better. And the crazy thing is, he's probably right.

Excellent sleuthing! The Christmas house is usually known as "Tom and Jerry's House," after the couple who live there.

In the meantime, here are a few recent 3D test renders, mainly intended to see how well some objects I created in Sketchup made the journey into sh3d.
