Sundial

This model is a part of my Village Doodad Pack.
I've been working on this pack for about a year now, adding a model approximately every three-four months, and fixing the other models while I'm at it. So... It's about time I finished it all up.

In ancient times, people used the sun's light in order to check the time. They drew a circle on the ground, using stones or simply the earth itself, and placed a stick in the middle. The sun would cause a shadow to fall from the stick on the circle, and as the sun moved in the sky, so did the shadow across the circle. Such a device was called a 'sundial'.

The shadow of the stick(not visible on the screenshot) actually moves; It takes about an hour for the shadow to complete a circle and start a new one. While this is not much, it should add realism in case of prolonged gameplay.

Please give me - Deolrin - credits if you use these models in your map.
