Name of Model: LEGO Globe

I know I've featured globes before (for some reason the regular search feature here can't find them, but mine as a blog author turns them up here and here, and for some reason a search doesn't turn up the globe tag), but this one is a bit more accurate - it was painstakingly designed with an atlas and a CAD program. As a studs-up ball with brick height (instead of plate height) resolution, it's already a reasonably complex model, but plates and bricks in various colors give the Earth a surprising amount of texture.
This is Wednesday's model of the day
