The result is a hilarious tour of their office space, populated by pandas, donkeys, ducks, kangaroos and sharks. Chris Breikss, President of 6S Marketing, explains, “We are an agency that works hard and plays harder, and we wanted to showcase our creativity with Google’s new indoor Street View product. Is it silly? Yes, a little, but it suits our quirky and dynamic culture. We want to create a fun work environment that people look forward to coming to every day. Life is too short to be boring.” See the mayhem.

Damien Richard McBarron (better known as "Damo") has submitted quite a few models to Google Earth over the years. He's built some absolutely amazing models, including this excellent model of the Menai Bridge which connects the island of Anglesey and the mainland of Wales.

Perhaps most remarkable is that this model was created and uploaded more than four years ago, yet remains as one of the better models you'll find anywhere. I encourage you to check out all of Damo's excellent models in the 3D Warehouse.
