Kimbell Art Museum 3ds Model

I found a model which I will be able to use;

http://lava.ds.arch.tue.nl/modelshop/kahn/kimbell/

I will need to do alot of work to fix it up, as it lacks detail and textures and may not be precise. It is good because it will give me a starting point to work from, rather than starting a whole new model.

These are pictures of the original model from the Java Research Team site.
