This model is featured in the official Sketchfab VR app:
This building at Skara Brae, Sandwick, Orkney dates from the late Neolithic (c.2900-2400 cal BC) and was the home to stone age farmers . This structure, known as House 1, was discovered after a storm in 1850. The local laird William Watt excavated this building in the 1850s and1860s discovering a wealth of stone and bone tools.
Following erosion in the 1920s a defensive sea wall was constructed and Prof. Vere Gordon Childe undertook further excavations.
The walls of this building survive over two metres high and the stone furniture remains in place. A hearh lies at the centre of the building and a large ‘dresser’ faces the one metre high door. The boxes around the sides of the room are bed compartments, which would have been lined with animal skins. The small stone boxes were used for storage.

The Neolithic House at Skara Brae in Orkney is a true marvel of ancient architecture. It offers a glimpse into the lives and dwellings of our ancestors vproapk.com/asphalt-nitro-mod-apk/.

Brilliant, thanks so much! I'm staff picking it :)
Bart, It is much better! The sharpen tool is fantastic. I've added some annotations to points of interest. Thanks, Hugo
Wow that's so much better! As a final thought, you could set some annotations to highlight points of interest in your scene, and 'tell a story' about what people are seeing here.
Bart, Thanks for the link. Very useful.
That's a great scan! You can do two things to improve the presentation on Sketchfab:
